Funny, Dian....this same conversation is going on in the Eclectic Academy
staff group cuz one of the instructors made her class pages in Word and is
now trying to clean up the messy code Word made when she converted it to
html. She used Dreamweaver, which is supposed to clean it up, and that made
the problem WAY worse.
It's my opinion, unfortunately, that if you have messy code, the ONLY way to
really clean it up is to do it manually.
That's why I don't bother to clean mine up until it causes a problem...I
know how to do it....I just don't have the time.
I really don't think there's ANY automatic way to do it that is
reliable....not even Dreamweaver.

Subject: [mso] Utility to clean up FP code?
Someone just wrote to me because they read my HTML series in TechTrax.
They were creating a newsletter in Front Page, but the business center
who accepts the newsletters won't accept her code page because of all
the excess code that FP dumped in it.
No Linda...this is not a razz, but a serious request from a real
user!<g>
Does anyone know of any utilities she might be able to use to clean up
the code? She's just learning HTML and doesn't feel confident enough to
go into the code and rip out the mess she's found. The only idea I could
offer her was to download the free trial of Dreamweaver to revamp the
code. But once the trial is over...if she doesn't buy DW, she'll be
faced with the same problem and therefore won't be able to use the
newsletter services management software because they won't allow FP
code.
If anyone has any suggestions I can pass along, I'd appreciate it!
