copy & paste cells in Frontpage adds a zero to each line of code?

I have tables set up in my website, and since upgrading to Frontpage 2003,
everytime I copy the content of one cell & paste to another, it adds a zero
to each line of code. I was always able to do this in FrontPage 2002, so I
don't understand what is happening.

Any suggestions?

Thanks much!
 
Can you show me an example of the code you have copied, and the resulting
code after you paste, please?
 
Hi Murray,

Here is the original code:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" target="paypal"
method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="bn" value="AMPPFPWZ.301">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">
<input type="hidden" name="add" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="business"
value="(e-mail address removed)">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Enamel Beach Babe">
<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value>
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="2.99">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="cn" value="(optional instructions)">
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="undefined_quantity" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="return"
value="http://www.classiccitycharms.com/thankyou.htm">
<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return"
value="http://www.classiccitycharms.com">


Here is what I get when I copy & paste the code:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" target="paypal"
method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="bn0" value="AMPPFPWZ.301">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd0" value="_cart">
<input type="hidden" name="add0" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="business0"
value="(e-mail address removed)">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name0" value="Enamel Beach Babe">
<input type="hidden" name="item_number0" value>
<input type="hidden" name="amount0" value="2.99">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code0" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="cn0" value="(optional instructions)">
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping0" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="undefined_quantity0" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="return0"
value="http://www.classiccitycharms.com/thankyou.htm">
<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return0"
value="http://www.classiccitycharms.com">
 
Your problem is that you must assign each form a unique name in FP that appears on a page with more
then a single form..

Example:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" target="paypal" method="post" name="form1">

next form

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" target="paypal" method="post" name="form2">

etc.

The first batch of code always worked when using FrontPage 2002, and would
work when copied. Now that I have upgraded to FrontPage 2003, it doesn't.
Is this something new in 2003?

Thanks!

That is already checked, still have the problem. As I stated earlier, I
always did that in 2002 without any problems.

Checking it creates the unique IDs (form field names)
- uncheck it if you don't want them
(but your forms won't work w/ dup ids)

And the pages won't validate - I guess this is not as bad as them not
working, though!
