This article was previously published under Q166087 SYMPTOMS
When you copy text formatted in Rich Text Format (RTF) and paste it into
FrontPage Express (formally FrontPad), odd characters in may be displayed
in FrontPage Express.
This behavior is specific to the FrontPage Express program that is
included as part of Internet Explorer 4.0 and 4.01; it does not occur in
the full version of FrontPage.
CAUSE
The ability to convert Rich Text Format (.rtf) files is not included in
this limited version of FrontPage Express. The characters you see are
American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) character
codes.
RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, follow these steps:
- Copy and paste your text into a non-RTF text editor such as Notepad.
This strips all formatting from the text.
- Copy the text from Notepad and then paste it into FrontPage Express.
NOTE: Because Notepad strips all formatting from the text, it is necessary
to reapply any appropriate formatting after you paste the text into
FrontPage Express.
