Recently I was editing a web page to stanardise the fonts to Arial 12, the
were two paragraphs which would not change on the website although all was
fine locally. To change I did the following, highlighted the text in question
Format remove formatting and the selected the text on the format bar.
Despite doing this repeatedly those paragraphs would not chane on line.
In the end I opened the web site on line and
File
Edit with Frontpage
I followed the same procedure and all was finally satisfactory.
Why was the local editing not effective on just those paragraphs?

It would depend entirely on the other content on the page. Can you post a
link to it and mention which paragraphs are resisting?
 
By the way all paragraphs were copied and pasted from word documents in the
first place, I don't know if this is significant

I've found that if I use Word to input text, if I don't follow that by
copying and pasting to Notepad & then copying to FP I have all kinds
of problems. I still use Word to put together text files, but run then
through Notepad, then to FP and reformat as needed, which eliminates
all the bad Word code.

He, he, he... you are running into an MS "feature" - part of the Grand
Plan to share documents between Office applications, despite the
impact on the real world.

Paste Special -> Normal Paragraphs will give you plain text without
all the nonsense without resorting to notepad. Works when copying
content from most anywhere.

It may work ok for you, but I just tried it and didn't get the same
results as pasting through notepad. For me, it's faster and cleaner to
do it as I have for years. Maybe what I'm accustom to helps some.

I've done that for years, too, Tom. :-)
