Every couple of weeks I get a word document, in table form, to put on the
website I maintain.
It is proving to be a very time-consuming activity when I am sure it
shouldn't be.
Currently I just cut and paste, then reformat in Frontpage. I know that
brings in loads of useless code, but cleaning it via notepad was way to
slow.
Is there a way I can speed up the process?
I use Frontpage 2000 running on Windows 2000 Pro
The page is http://www.dmsystems.co.nz/MBSLC/u16_19.htm
TIA

Stephen,
Why not copy the .doc file into your root folder?

Then add a link like:
<a href="letter.doc">Click here</a>

When the text is clicked on, you get a prompt:
Do you want to Open or Save.

If you select "Open" , then the .doc file opens in Word (provided the viewer
has Word loaded on their PC)

No need to reformat , no need to anything except insert the links.

You can keep an area of the site free to put these links on when the
documents arrive. Just add or change a link and hey presto - problem solved

Is it the text following this heading ?
<p align="center"><b><u><font face="Arial" size="5">Under 16 &amp;
19</font></u></b>
<p align="center"><b><font face="Arial" size="4">January&nbsp;
Schedule</font></b>

If so, then just alter this to
<p align="center">
<a href="janschedule.doc">
<b><font face="Arial" size="4">January&nbsp; Schedule</font></b><br>
<b><u><font face="Arial" size="5">Under 16 &amp; 19</font></u></b>
</p>
</a>
where "janschedule.doc" is the original .doc file

and delete the reformatted text
 
Save and close the Word Document
In FrontPage, open a new page and do nothing with it.
reduce the size of the FP window, and open Windows Explorer.
In Explorer, browse to the Word Document
Drag the document into the open page in FrontPage.

For a simple table and content, there will be very little cleanup
required.

Thanks for the help. In both cases I end up with a link to the word
document. I am a firm believer that the fewer clicks the better. I want to
display the information on that page.

If you drag the word document onto the open page from a folder outside
the web using Windows Explorer, not FrontPage, you will not get a
link. If you drag using FrontPage you will get a link.
