how to remove an include?

[Silo]

Some months ago I decided to do an include page instead of shared borders
(this was in search of more compatibility with non-Frontpage web programs).
Now I'd like to removed the include (which includes a banner and a
navigation system) from the 150 page site. Turns out this is harder than it
ought to be. You can't simply search and replace (even in FP2003) because
the include line that shows up in FP
(<!--webbot bot="Include" U-Include="../toptitle.htm" TAG="BODY" -->)
doesn't REALLY exist on the pages, as what the include does is replace it in
the pages with the content of the include (in this case the content of the
file toptitle.htm).

Can some guru 'splain to me how to get rid of the whole enchilada? Would
much appreciate.

Can't you just remove the code from the toptitle.htm. If this is the
page that is included in all your other pages, that is it. That is the
idea behind includes.

i believe an include puts code on every page in the site. removing the
CONTENT of the include does not remove the include code itself.
