I'm using FrontPage2000. If significant improvements have been made in the way FP2003 handles CSS and HTML coding, then I'm going to try FP2003. FP's integration with other Office products is a real incentive to try to make it work. I'd still use Acrobat, though, to convert a FrontPage website into print. I don't know of any better way to have documents that can be viewed on the Web and also printed on paper.

I'm using 2003 and it no longer inserts any junk.....and CSS in FrontPage is now pretty effortless also. Anyway....bottom line is.....if we are discussing web page creation in THIS group, the only two programs we can discuss are Publisher and FrontPage, because they are both part of Office.....Dreamweaver is not, so please let's not turn this into a Dreamweaver tutorial thread.....if anyone wants to talk about Dreamweaver, please take that to another group, cuz it's off-topic in here. But, I really don't see any extra code added, using FrontPage 2003....and I find it very user friendly. Publisher is a desktop publishing application and that's what it should be used for....and NOT for creating web pages. Linda F.

I think that currently the best way to have something in print that looks like itself on the Web is to go the other way: Make the HTML document first and then capture it with Adobe Acrobat. Single HTML files are a snap, but even for a collection of website files, the conversion from HTML to PDF is virtually painless: In Acrobat you have control over how much of a website's collection of files you wish to capture by specifying how many levels of linked files you want to get. And you can capture either from the uploaded website or from the original files on your own computer. I've been very happy with Publisher for print media since I discovered Publisher97. I tried the conversion-to-HTML feature when it first appeared, and it was such a nightmare I never tried it again. I really wanted to like FrontPage, which I've used for the past several years, but it hasn't happened. FrontPage invisibly inserts a lot of junk code. Sometimes I go in and take out the extra junk, but more often just leave in to avoid complication. And if I have to insert HTML code (which is occasionally unavoidable), the process is rarely trouble-free. (I'm no HTML coding virtuoso.) ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
