In frontpage 2003 when I paste a code in the code tab if the code is longer than a few lines then immediately an error pops up on the page saying that: "Microsoft Office FrontPage has encountered a probloem and needs to close.." and I should add this that the code that I paste is not something special and there's nothing wrong with it even when i do a "view source" on yahoo.com homepage and paste it into the code tab the same thing happens again and i've tried everything from removing frontpage, office even a new installation of xp but none of them work!

Are you just in Code View, or are you in Split View
Provide a snippet of what you are pasting

It happens in code view but after your question i tried it in split view and it happens there too! for a snippet visit yahoo.com and right click and click on view source now copy and paste the source into code view and when i do the same frontpage crashes.. and i've tried this with many codes and yahoo.com homepage is also one of them.. i initially noticed the issue when dealing with my movabletype templates and then played with it for example by pasting yahoo homepage code into it and the same issue happened!! generally one the size of the pasted code is more than a few lines it happens!! if you need any aditional info let me know and i'll send them here or by mail if necessary.. i'm running xp sp1.

Not reproducible
Open FP2003, and open a new page, switch to code view
Open IE and go to yahoo.com, View Source (notepad), Edit Select All, Edit Copy
In FP Code View, Edit Select all, Edit Paste, save & switch views
I get a clean Yahoo page & no crash

If you are pasting snippets that cause a html or script mismatch you might crash

Try cleaning out your IE temp files (cache) and default Temp folder

I cleaned IE Cache and temp folder but I still have the issue but I have figured out the real issue: it's with script tags
I mean as soon as a pair of script tags are put into the code section the error is generated, it's hard to believe so
i made a screenshot from it and put it here:

as you can see script tags are empty so there mustn't be any mismatch!! i also disabled intellisense so after <script>
i could write sth and then close it with </script> but it didn't help!

in a code that has no script tag i have no issue!

I see your error but can't replicate (pasting empty script tags into any block in page in code view)

Only areas to look at are:
1)Look for more info in the logs (FRONTPG.log, dw.log, wecerr.txt) in your default Temp Folder and in Windows Event Viewer
2) In FP is scripting turned on in Tools Page Options Authoring
3) Is scripting is turned on in IE Security options
4) In Windows Explorer Find and delete all FP Temp Files
5) In Windows Explorer Find and delete all hidden *.web files
Then open FP and run Start, All Programs, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Office Application Recovery to see the details it may
generate
