What should I do, previous designer used Word as the editor..

1. I am updating a web page and the previous admin used Word as the
editor for almost all of the pages. If I double click on the htm files
they all open in Word and the code view shows alot of extra code. The
site is www.detteandco.com

2. The first page has a bunch of flash buttons and when I double click
it opens in Word and gives several error messages about not having
enough memory and when it does open it shows large red X's where the
buttons should be.

3. Also, the buttons are only available on the first page. I would like
to turn the buttons into a navigation bar throughout every page of the
site but I'm not familiar with FP so I would appreciate some suggestions.

What would you recommend that I do in these situations?

Thanx, Dave.

First, kick his ass.
Second, I believe their is a tool that can clean up the mess. Someone in the
group will probably point you in the right direction.

There is no 1 step tool
- and those page are too full of word roundtripping code

If using Word 2000 / FP 2000 you can try the Html Filter at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...EE-3FBD-482C-83B0-96FB79B74DED&displaylang=EN

Try
Opening each page in Word and saving as a Word .doc file
Then File Import the .doc files (and any related folders) in FP and use the procedure at
http://sbrenjoy.bizland.com/frontpage/word.htm

Scrap the word art and use an image
Scrap the flash buttons / activeX and
- if using FP 2003 use Interactive buttons for navigation
- otherwise create buttons images in an image editor
