How to Make HTML Text "Copyable" for Customers

When I copy and paste the HTML code from this page and
put it on a FrontPage test page in the HTML view, it
doesn't become a link in the Normal View, but rather
still just looks like HTML. However, if I first copy and
paste it to a notepad document, and then copy it to my
test page, it works. I have previously taken the
formating out of the code by using the remove format
feature, and it still didn't work. In other words, I
copied that same text that seems to work, out of the
notepad doc, pasted it back into my page, published it,
but when recopying from it, it once again doesn't become
a link in the Normal View. I have tried it in an Inline
Frame, and I've had the exact same results. My guess is
there's a simple solution, but I sure can't figure it
out. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help.

In FP2003, either:

o Choose Paste Special from the Edit menu and then
choose Do Not Convert, or
o Paste into Code view.

In FP2002, choose Paste Special from the Edit menu
and then choose Treat As HTML.

Best to always paste code into Notepad, then into FP's HTML / Code View.

If you are trying to make the code available for others, then create a form with a single scrolling
text box (textarea), then insert the code a the initial value of the form field.

I apologize, I meant to say we have FP 2002! That is
what I'm trying to do - make the code available for
others. I think I see where I can do this. So a form
can be used for something other than text that needs to
be submitted? I guess I need to take the reset and
submit buttons out . . . . Thanks.

You can see example of this, at many of the JavaScript Resource site, as they use that method, as
well as having a script that allow the user to actual select/highlight
