| Thanks, Rob!
|
| This is very helpful. Most of the text that I put into FP comes from Word
| documents. I had been doing Copy from Word then Past into the web page in
| FP. But I've found that approach fraught with problems. so I'm Copying from
| Word now, then Pasting into Notepad, then copying the text from Notepad and
| then pasting into an FP web page. Only real problem is, that always messes
| up the format of text from Word. I do type some text directly into FP web
| pages. That seems to be ok. If there are better ways, I'd sure like to
| know about them.
Yes it will, that's the object of taking it into Notepad in the first place - to get rid of Word's formatting which is usually a disaster on the web.
I've had success with all three methods I mentioned: Copy/Paste-Copy/Paste...Copy/Edit/Paste Special (experiment with diff options)...and also the Drag/Drop.
|
| I'll try the .pdf to .gif conversion and import that. What I don't want is
| a Word document in place of a .gif or .jpg image. I just want the image
| that in the Word document.
Not sure I overstand now...if you want an image that is IN a Word doc...just import the image into FP.
|
| Which tends to be better to use in web pages, .gif or .jpg? For some
| reason, I think I like .jpg files better. Though I'm not locked into that
| line of thought.
Generally; jpgs for photos, gifs for graphics...but I've crossed the line many times.
Gifs have limited color pallette and tend to not handle gradients very well - but they are smaller file size and can handle one transparent color.
Jpgs handle more colors, no transparency, file size depends on quality you want, and/but is a lossy format (so watch that you don't keep adjusting and resaving it too much)

| If you want to display the pdf convert the image to a gif and import that
| into FP and then place it into your design - this is kinda rough but I do it
| for basic newsletters and it works ok...(sorta). Then by clicking on the
| image of the pdf they can also download the pdf file so they can print it if
| they want to.
|
| For text from outside of FP...best way is to Copy then Paste into Notepad
| (if it's formatted stuff from web, or other rtf text) then Copy from Notepad
| and Paste into FP. You can also use Paste Special, but sometimes this is a
| little dirty. You may also want to try Drag & Drop if it's a Word file.

| | | Hi, Kathleen!
| |
| | Thanks for your response!
| |
| | Ok, so maybe I create a new folder in FP, then File>Import the .PDF
| document
| | into that folder. Then create a link to that .PDF on one of my web pages.
| | Would that make the document itself appear in the web page or the
| hyperlink?
| |
| | Evidently, I'm not putting anything into web pages the right way. I type
| | text directly into a web page. I copy>past text into a web page directly
| | (no import). So far, the only thing I've been importing is .jpg files.
| Do
| | I need to import text into a folder, then somehow drag & drop onto a web
| | page?
