Using MS Word text

[Guest]

I have heard that copying text from MS Word and pasting it directly into
Frontpage (2003) is not good practice as it copies some Word code.
I have many descriptions written in Word (one Word file contains many
individual descriptions) that I need to copy and put into Frontpage. Could
you tell me the correct way or should I re-type each one?
I can import the file but as I need just a paragraph at a time (for each
description) from the file then I am still having to copy and paste from it -
not sure this is OK?

I paste the text into a text file, then copy that into FP. You lose the
formating, but only get the text.

Thanks - I take it Notepad is the easiest way then?

You could

1) retype the content from scratch into a webpage in Frontpage

2) Copy the text from word to Notepad, then into Frontpage (this removes the
word formatting). Note, you lose the formatting, but this can be easily
re-established using the formatting features in FP.

Copy into Notepad, then copy from there and paste into your site. Use CSS
for formatting. Tedious, but the best approach.

Not the easiest. I use a program called PureText that works my simply
clicking the icon on the task bar.
Copy to the clip board, click the icon to remove all formatting and paste
into FrontPage (or any where else for that matter).
