FP2000: Some Information Not Retained When Inserting File (219574)

SYMPTOMS

When you insert a file by clicking File on the Insert menu, some of the information from the inserted file is not retained. For example, information stored in the <HEAD>...</HEAD> element-- such as cascading style sheet instructions or scripting code--may be removed when the file is inserted. You may see incorrect formatting or receive scripting errors when you view the page in preview mode or in a Web browser.

Note that this information is not removed from the original file; it is only removed from the information that is inserted into the current file.

CAUSE

This is a design implementation of FrontPage. Everything outside of <BODY>...</BODY> is removed from the file when it is inserted.

RESOLUTION

To retain the complete contents of the original file, use the appropriate method for your situation.

Method 1: If You Don't Have a Web Open

Open the file by clicking Open on the File menu. If you only want some of the information from the original file, use a copy and paste operation after opening the file to move only the information you want.

Method 2: If You Have a Web Open

Import the file into your Web. To do this, follow these steps:

On the File menu, click Import.
Click Add File.
Select the file and click Open.
Click OK.
