Dead-end FrontPage

[Top Editor]

In following the rather iffy tutorial for 1st-time users of FP I cannot
insert the file "text.doc" and get the error message: "Unable to run text
converter %CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\TextConv\html32.cnv". Have
tried all rational solutions with zero success. "Search" finds the file, but
double-clicking it does no good and sends you on a wildgoose chase to FileExt
..... and that's worse than blue-screen!!

Try importing the file, not inserting it. Then you would create a link to it
from a web page.

I've stuggled with html32.cnv error for two days. Finally, the solution that
seems to work:
regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software -> Microsoft -> Shared Tools -> Text
Converter -> Export - HTML

Change the path to reflect exact location, e.g.
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\TextConv\html32.cnv

This now allows me to copy from one program [e-Sword] to FP2003 and maintain
original formatting.

(At this time I did not change Import, but probably should.)
