'Tab' converted to '&nbsp'

I have created several pages in Word and formatted them using the 'Tab' key.
When I paste them into front page, each 'tab' is converted into 5 '&nbs'
characters. The pages display fine, but in code view, they are a mess. Is
there a way to keep the formatting, or format the document in Word without
generating hundreds and hundreds of these '&nbsp' characters as the
information is pasted into FP 2003?

Thanks!
 
There is no such thing as a Tab in an HTML document. The   replace the
spaces you intended.

Even if you were typing your own HTML, you would have to use   to
display consecutive spaces.

I would guess that all the other Word crap would be making a bigger mess
than spaces.

As long as it's displaying the way you want, why worry?

Yeah, Bob's right...it does make Web design harder in Code view, but if
you have trouble with it I suggest you lean more toward Design View,
where you won't be distracted by it. Just a thought...
