inserting word document into front page express web page

inserting word document into front page express web page: Posted by Route 9w on January 29th, 2004; Every time I do this, all the extraneous 'web bot' thingies show up.
Does anyone know how to eliminate them other than the hard way?
Thanks
Joe

but the little 'web bot' squares show up and need to be deleted.

they are yellow in color and indicate some kid of spacing in the
document.

Here is a text sample --text should just say

Number of patients transported

I cannot show you the yellow things here --they show up as yoellow
squares with <?> inside them

After I delete all of them, the &nbsp thingies have to be deleted to
correct the web document spacing

Thanks for the time.

It's very easy. Stop using Front Page. The code it generate is way out
of the standart set by the W3C, try the validator at

http://www.mozilla.org (also freeware) comes with wysiwyg editor and

Don't the webbot squares only show up in HTML edit view. If you view the
page in browser it should look (allowing for the crap HTML and any
conversion process) more as expected.

So is the original document using spaces or tabs to do the layout?

Convert to one of these,
PDF Adobe Acrobat format,
Text,
or
Save as HTML from Word first. Not great. But it lets you cut/paste the
HTML result (remeber to remove the <HTML>, heading, body bits.)
Bit you already did that? FPE I didn't think it will convert a .doc into
the format as you pasted below.

Are you simply dragging the .doc into the FPE edit window?

The &nbsp thingies, are non-breaking spaces.
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/sgml...html#iso-88591
24.2.1 The list of characters

<!ENTITY nbsp CDATA " " -- no-break space = non-breaking space,
U+00A0 ISOnum -->

http://whatis.techtarget.com/definit...214630,00.html
When you type several consecutive spaces into an HTML file, only the
first space is recognized; all spaces that follow are ignored.

Actually, I just opened the word document using FPE, which I find very
easy to use, and the result was the 'bot' stuff.

As I do not know about spaces or tab use for sure, here is what one
line of the document looks like in word:

Here is the html code as it is in the document when 'saved as web
page' in word and then opened in FPE:

       &nbsp ;   
>Number of EMS calls dispatched       &nbsp ;      
------------------------     
1162<o></o>
.................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................

To test, I opened a new blank word document, keyed in the
text,-->Number of EMS calls dispatched-- saved it as a web page--then
opened it in FPE(convert from HTML) and here is the (apologies for the
length) document that resulted!

<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document">
<meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 9">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage Express 2.0">
<title>>Number of EMS calls Dispatched</title>
<link rel="File-List"
href="./Number%20of%20EMS%20calls%20Dispatched%20joe%20tes t_files/filelist.xml">

<style>

</style>
</head>

<body lang="EN-US" style="tab-interval:.5in">

>Number of
EMS calls Dispatched<o></o>
</body>
</html>

Of course, the yellow bot symbols appeared(one at the beginning and
three at the end). Of course, it does seem a might bit awful lot of
code for the 5 or 6 words!

I am sure that i need to remove something to stop this but maybe it is
just better to rekey the document directly into an html editor. I did
download Mozilla and the html kit and, while they seem to be OK, I am
used to FPE. If I have to rekey, I will probably not use FPE, but the
Mozilla, as it looks the friendliest.

I apologize for the length and probably unnecessary long length of
this post.

Always happens.

Something to avoid, the MS HTML produced is heading towards XML and a
lot of inline CSS for document portablity but still very bloated code.

Seen this all too often, never used FPE however but FP 1.1 to 2003 all
do the same rubbish.

As long as you keep using ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ you will
always get the bots, for unknown tags as FPE has no way of understanding
the markup Word created.

As mentioned before convert the Word file to PDF.

Possible, but having used FP a lot, but 3 or 4 years ago now the simple
solution was to always save the Word doc as text. Paste the text into FP
editor and reformat it there. This is not always possible and the extra
works was a pain and could take a while.

Although you said the webot markers still show, as unknown code deleting
these will cause complications in the markup.
What I didn't see an answer for was I think I asked, Ignoring the webots
in FPE did the page display ok in a browser?

The trick is, you noticed you have to edit around the bots and fix the
spacing where all the non-breaking spaces went.

Well a shorter markup example may have been okay :-)

You will find I expect most any editor will have a problem with the
markup from Word / Save As webpage.

Anything that converts 'This is one third line in HTML' into 60 lines of
markup must have some issues.
