FrontPage Express Inserts Formatting Information (189575)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 for Windows 95
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 for Windows 95
- Microsoft Windows 98
This article was previously published under Q189575 SYMPTOMS
When you insert a Microsoft Word 97, Word 6.0, or Windows Write file by
using the File command on the Insert menu in Microsoft FrontPage Express,
the file format information is inserted into the FrontPage Express page
along with the text. This behavior occurs whether you choose the HTML or
Text option for opening the file. This behavior can also occur when you
paste information from a Word 97, Word 6.0, or Windows Write document
into FrontPage Express.
CAUSE
Word 97, Word 6.0, and Windows Write use the .doc extension by default.
FrontPage Express converts document files with the .doc extension to Rich
Text Format (RTF) and then inserts all of the RTF information (including
file formatting information) into the page.
RESOLUTION
To prevent RTF information from being inserted into a FrontPage Express
page, save the .doc file as a text (.txt) file before inserting it. When
you insert the file, click Text Files (*.txt) in the Files Of Type box.
