I am helping my son's school system design a website using frontpage 2000.
(they do not have the budget for the newer version) I am having problems
copying and pasting text ( weekly agenda's, sight & spelling word lists,
etc...) The formating of the text is way off! On Microsoft Word, the text is
single spaced but after copying to frontpage it's all double spaced and other
formating differences. Can anyone help? I am trying my best to help, but
the teachers are getting fustrated.

Paragraphs in an HTML web page will always have what appears to be a blank
line between them and the next paragraph. In Word, paragraphs can be set to
not have the blank line. Hence the visual difference.

You can reduce the "blank line" effect by using CSS in the <Head> section of
the page

In HTML view:

<head>
<title>......</title>

more meta tags

<style type="text/css">
p{margin: 0;}
</style>
</head>

<body

Note that this will affect every paragraph in the document.

That is the nature of Frontpage it does not have the formatting ability (or the
ability to full maintain Word's formatting exactly). Typing everything straight
into Frontpage is probably best.

You might also try saving the Word files as HTML and then import into the
Frontpage web - I don't know if this would keep the formatting intact any better.
Depends really on Word's ability to convert its *.doc files to html files. It is
not designed for creating web pages.
