Yes it would and was.... but not horribly so.
What the file ended up being was just a text file with all the html in
it.... WITH the addition of a lot of "STUFF" ( I'm not really sure what it
was???) . Once the "STUFF" was edited out it was an easy matter of pasting
the html into FrontPage. It took about 2 hours and yes I charged the client
for it!!!
