What I'm doing now: "View Source", search for text section, cut and paste. It
seems to me there should be an easier way. Is there?
 
If you want to try something interesting...with the email opened...File | Save As and htm(l) page (put it into a folder somewhere), then Import it into your FP web/site and edit it the way you want. I wouldn't save it directly into FP on the initial Save As.

Thanks, Crash. That DOES work -- and even if some stuff still has to be cut
and pasted, it will be easier than what I've been doing. How about this: how
to import the formatted content INTO a template page, i.e., one with no text
content, but WITH a lot of css stuff, on the site? (I have to cut and paste
it, don't I :^)
 
Not sure I exactly follow you..but you can set it up as a template - either an 'official' .tem file or just do a Save As with the blank then use that to create new pages by doing Save As's from that. You can apply a linked CSS to the blank ... if thats what you mean.

Oh, dear. I don't even know WHAT I mean, and don't know what a .tem file is.
But I have books, and am going to get to them one of these days; in the
meantime, I spend the time attending to content. "My" css was designed by
someone else, and I'm afraid to fool with it, though I'm tired of the design,
lest I . . . erase everything.

The site is http://DeepEndNews.com, a site which is a lot more work than it
looks like it would be. It was designed by a pro, and I kind of got stuck
with doing it alone. Have maintained it with HomeSite (crashed a lot), GoLive
(incomprehensible AND crashed a lot), now FrontPage (incomprehensible and
DOESN'T crash, usually -- although its business end did get hijacked early
on, which I believe is still the source of some trouble. You can see an
example of what I mean, if you care to, by clicking on any entry at the top
of http://deependnews.com/cwolman.htm. (In the earlier entries, I was
reformatting the whole deal character by character, and putting it into my
style; in the latest entries, I've maintained the original as it comes in
email . . .)

Please don't feel you have to answer this right now -- or at all. I'm a
little unlcear as to how THIS feature works, too, but hope I can get back to
it if I close it down, etc.
