FrontPage, bad code and Word documents

[Jeff.Kuntzman at UCHSC.edu]

I usually don't get involved with defending Microsoft products, however I
disagree with the oft-made assertion that FrontPage generates lousy code. I
am using FP 2002 (XP) and although the code it automatically generates is
not perfect, it's way better than it used to be. Also, if you start with
good code, you can set FrontPage not to mess with it.

Dreamweaver is nice, no doubt about it, but FrontPage is also a workable
editor and a blessing if you are forced to work with tables.
(In our case there is a formal campus template)

In regard to converting Word documents, FP 2002 now allows you to paste
as "text only" from Word so if you already have an HTML document set up with
stylesheets, the process moves pretty quickly with cut-and-paste.

FP also excels at site management, in my opinion...

If its not too late, switch to Dreamweaver from Macromedia.  I just made the
switch from FrontPage 2000 to Dreamweaver and am much happier with the
results.  FrontPage generates lousy HTML code.
