WORD DOCUMENTS

[Guest]

IS THERE ANY DISADVANTAGE TO CREATING A WEB PAGE IN "WORD" WITH A LOGO, TEXT
AND PHOTOS, THEN SAVING IT AS HTML vs COMPOSING THE WEB PAGE IN FRONT PAGE.

IF I WERE TO USE A WIZARD, CAN I IMPORT EITHER THE "WORD" DOCUMENT OR THE
HTML PAGE INTO THE WIZARD?

Before I reply, most would take offence at the ALL CAPITALS. It is regarded as shouting.

Anyway, it is not a good idea to compose a page in Word, save it as HTML and import that into FP.
(I actually don't use import so I am not sure of the details.)
This creates all sorts of Word stuff that you don't want.

It is much better to save it as plain text (e.g. in WordPad) and paste that text into FP. Or do the whole lot in FP.

I actually use another text editor - UltraEdit32 - for creating my HTML. I find this much easier.

Oooops, turn off your CAPSLOCK key!
Yes, do not create web pages with Word... it is not the correct tool Also
don't use Publisher. Both result in BAD code!! It is best not to copy Word
docs into a page either! Learn to do it the correct way.

Thank you for your reply.

I have all of these Word Documents with a logo, text, copies of drawings
form Autocad, and photos ready to go. Can I cut from the Word Documents and
paste into FP pages or would that still carry the "bad code" into FP? What
is the result of the "bad code"?

Thank you.

Thank you.

What usually happens to me if I try that is that the positioning of
things on the page gets all screwed up. And you will have a very
difficult time trying to get them where you want them. I have
developed the habit of putting everything through Notepad first to
strip all the Word formatting. I cut and paste from there. Then it
is easy to edit in FrontPage.

Make sure that all your images are jpgs for the photos and probably gifs for
the others. Import them into an image's folder. Use table for the placement
of your various parts.
Bad code makes things work badly!

Personally I don't take offence at Capital letters - what's all the fuss. I
also create documents in Word and then save then as .htm or .html for my
FrontPage Website which I have been doing for three years now. Certainly if
you use Word Art it can throw it around a bit but it is very easily corrected
by just adjusting the position. I may not be operating the correct way but it
works so I am fine with it.

1) Internet "Netiquette" is that ALL CAPS is considered shouting, and is
harder to read.

2) Have you tried looking at your site in a browser other than IE? Word
Art should NEVER be used on a web site, as it is ONLY viewable in some
versions of IE. Other browsers will either see nothing, or a degraded
gif image. It also requires use of absolute positioning, which, in the
hands of a novice, can cause distortions, too. Have you looked at your
site with a different browser, at a different screen resolution, or with
different window size? You may be very unpleasantly surprised at what
you see.

3) Word also adds an extremely large amount of extraneous code, which
either makes the page unreadable, or just takes much longer to load.

Try posting a URL to your site so we can look at it.

I know that's true, but before the Internet, when the military still
used morse code, everything was sent and copied in all caps. In fact,
the typewriters used by the military could only type in capital
letters. They were called Mills. Things change. Personally, I hate
it when someone uses all caps. It takes about twice as long to read.

OK, OK. I've got that message loud and clear and will mend my ways to
whispering, though I think all caps is easier to read. And if there's no
audio, there's certainly no shouting, or even loud rock or rap with the
windows rolled down

Thanks for your suggestions and regards,

Please feel free to post as you wish, all caps or not. Just understand you
won't get the responses from many of the experts who don't appreciate
shouting and the rudeness all caps is known for.

Good luck in your endeavors in using an application that is not meant for
web design, and be prepared for the consequences.

I wouldn't make the page in Word, but if you are looking to link a Word
document to your page then yea go for it. On your home page (Index) create a
link for the topic- for me it was Class Calendar. I downloaded a Microsoft
calendar template, put my dates in it and then saved it. Next I imported the
file into my FrontPage folder. I then right clicked my icon for the Class
Calendar page and went to Hyperlink. From there you get a menu with choices,
your Word document is now there because you imported it. Click on it and say
OK. It should be there. Again- I'm not sure how you were thinking of using
the Word document but....

Caps is easier to read?? You've got to be kidding. Those that know better
would disagree with you.

The best option would be to convert your documents to PDF files and then import and link to each.
