[WEB4LIB] Re: Dreamweaver and FrontPage

[Margaret Escherich]

Bear in mind, however, that even after using the FP code clean-up extension,
you will probably want to go back and check that it did what you wanted it
to do.  I have decided that it works better to clean up my pages
individually, rather than use the blanket site command, because a) it
doesn't catch everything, and b) sometimes it leaves your page looking a
little odd!

Best of luck.  We found it not the easiest or fastest transition, FP to
Dreamweaver, but we are VERY glad we decided to do it, in the long run.
