FrontPage Formatting Problem! Please Help!

[Guest]

All,

I recently switched from MS Office XP and FrontPage 2002 to Office 2003 and
FrontPage 2003. I have a formatting problem that is driving me crazy, and I
hope someone with more experience can help. With Office XP I used to simply
save a Word document as a .htm file and then open the document in FrontPage.
The document imported very nicely, and all I had to do was to publish it to
my Web site. With the new Office/FP, now when I save a Word document as
..htm, it seems to export the text such that the document is *way* too wide.
When I open in in FP and publish it, I end up with a horizontal scroll bar
and the lines are *way* too long. I've spent hours and tried anything I can
think of to reformat the text in FP such that I do nopt end up with a
horizontal scroll bar. Any ideas! Thanks.

Would opening the Word file in Word, hitting CTRL+A, CTRL+C, opening a
blank page in Frontpage, hitting CTRL+V work for you?

Did you try importing a WORD file in Frontpage ?

That was one of the very first things I tried! Thanks anyway!

Yes, I did. No luck. I really think this is some sort of a bug with either
Word or FrontPage 2003. I got the problem solved, though. I used OpenOffice
and excported it to html. It worked great!

The site is a great resource of FP info.
