using pre-existing Word document with hyperlinks

I'm new to FrontPage. Before FrontPage, I used a Word document that consists
of one large table. Within that table, I have hyperlinks among the content.
I want that Word table to be the basis for a web page.

I have successfully imported the Word document into FrontPage, and I see it
in my folder list. I have right clicked on that document, from the folder
list, and "opened as html". The table came in nicely with the content.
HOWEVER, the hyperlinks apparently did not import.

Maybe I should have went about this another way. Any help is appreciated.
 
I would highly recommend recreating the page from scratch in FrontPage, word
is a very poor html editor.

Thanks for the quick response. I just want to make sure I was clear before I
start over from scratch with a 15-PAGE table filled with hyperlinks.

I want the content of my Word table to be the basis for a web page, but if I
could get the content and hyperlinks into FrontPage, then I don't care
anymore about Word. I don't mind doing the formatting and tweaking in
FrontPage, I just would like to avoid starting over.

Please tell me I don' have to start from scratch.
 
Here's a quick-and-dirty way to get table data into FrontPage from Word or
Excel without the Word or Excel formatting:

In Word or Excel, insert a column between every two columns of your data
with </td><td> in every cell.
Add a column to the left with <tr><td> in every cell.
Add a column to the right with </td></tr> in every cell.

Copy the whole table and paste it into Notepad.

In FrontPage, insert a new table. Open the Code view, position your cursor
after the opening table tag, copy the data from Notepad, and insert. Then
adjust your formatting.

This will also delete your hyperlinks, unfortunately. But maybe you could
just copy and paste those individual columns? It's worth a try.
 
Thanks Mir,
Before I try this, let me confirm: Are saying that, in Word, I should
separate all my existing columns with new single columns (with </td><td> in
every cell), then add a column to the far left of my table (with <tr><td> in
every cell) and a column to the far right? (with </td></tr> in every cell) ?
 
Yes. Sorry I wasn't clear.
Putting this code right within the words makes the html code for your web
page; going through Notepad strips out the Word code & leaves just the html
code. Let me know how it goes.

I book marked your website. Thanks.

I'm discouraged that I have to go back and add dozens of hyperlinks, but I
learned a lesson about the compatibility of Word with other programs. I knew
when I started this project months ago that I would one day be migrating it
to the web. I thought Word would be a safe place to begin.....oh, well.

I do appreciate your help.
