MS Office Forum / Word / Web Authoring / January 2005All Fonts Change Improperly! Help!
I am hoping that someone here will have a simple answer to solve my problem. I have a website that I have written using Microsoft Word. I have it saved as both a document and a website. For some odd reason, when I try to add information all of the other text/ fonts on the page change, too. When I decide to center some new text, all of the text throughout the page becomes centered. I have been unable to update the site due to this problem. I am hoping that I accidentally changed a parameter and someone in the know can tell me how to revert back to the way it has always worked. In other words, when I decide that an item I want to add should be centered, I only want that "pasted" item to be centered, not the entire page. Is there anyone out there that understands what I am describing and can help me resolve it?

The page has multiple issues which need resolution. 1) you have too much data crammed into a solitary web page. 2) The bloat created within the html "needlessly" added by using Word (99% is unnecessary) to create your web page makes deciphering of a solitary error in which you previously described impossible. 3) one "assumption" is that you are either attempting to insert data or an object in place of which it should not be inserted in the first place, or you have a html statement which is not closed. In my opinion, the best thing you may do for your page and your efforts, would be to start from a new beginning utilizing an effective method and software. Microsoft Front Page is a tool designed primarily for creating web pages, however you CANNOT copy and paste neither text or objects from MS WORD and into MS FRONT PAGE else you improve nothing. This copy and pasting process would result in an exact duplication of what you current have. That's what I was afraid of ... I had wanted to transfer to a real web page program, but had a sneaky feeling that I couldn't just do this. Are you saying that I could do a copy/paste if all was well? That would be good to know, as I have 5 other town sites and they work just fine. I would like to at least transfer them. Thanks for trying. I now have the weekend to play around with this. Maybe I will try doing a copy paste a bit at a time starting at the top and seeing in what area things start getty funky. I appreciate your attempt at trying to solve this problem. I really do appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge. > t is http://www.shtetlinks.jewishgen.org/Sanok/ > Can you tell by going to it online what is causing this problem?

"Are you saying that I could do a copy/paste if all was well?" NO! What I'm saying is that NOT under any circumstances should you copy and paste from within Word to the majority of other software's. Instead, You copy and paste your text from Word to NotePad (NOT Wordpad) or any other standard text editor. From that software you copy and paste into a web software. This conversion process removes ALL font and layout formatting. You may download a FREE older version of Front Page Express. It's not perfect, however it is more functional for creating web pages than Word. If your interested? I'll dig up a link for you or you may search this NG's archives at: http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.word.web.authoring You are a gem, I am saving all of your emails. So, if I use a standard text editor, such as: NotePad (not Wordpad), I just copy paste to it and after that step, I can copy/paste to something like Front Page. From that point, I would need to change fonts, colors, etc.? Is that what you are telling me? Even though, the images won't be there can I just do a copy/paste of the whole page? If so, I would at least have the captions there, and only have to insert the images. Does what I just wrote make sense to you? :-) Also, is NotePad part of what is available on my computer, if I have Windows XP? Or is it part of another program? Although, I have put together websites, I really am not familiar with the technical aspects of it all. So, I thank you for trying to simplify your advice. > "Are you saying that I could do a copy/paste if all was well?" > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > I'll dig up a link for you or you may search this NG's archives at: > http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.word.web.authoring "Even though, the images won't be there can I just do a copy/paste of the whole page? If so, I would at least have the captions there, and only have to insert the images." NO. Your entire purpose here is in creating web pages of which you may at the very minimum serve up with an industry standard structure which will allow you to learn and others to assist. By attempting to copy and paste an entire page from Word to any other product, you defeat (INSTANTLY) your goal. Any attempt you make to save time in this new beginning will easily cost you 100-fold in time later. 1) You copy and paste text (a portion at a time) from Word to--NotePad and then--from NotePad and --into FP or another software. a) NotePad is a basic text editor and does not have any capability for handling images, borders, divides, spans or any other layout setting created by Word. 2) You size your images prior to inserting links to the images in your web page software. 3) You insert a link to the previously sized image into your web page software. There are established tutorials for these methods (creating web pages) across the internet. http://werbach.com/barebones/ http://archive.ncsa.uiuc.edu/General/Internet/WWW/HTMLPrimerAll.html http://www.htmlgoodies.com/primers/basics.html http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp The following website quite excellent and very thorough and detialed. With some archives going back to 1997: http://webreference.com/dlab/ Additionally! There are some settings within Word which may be changed to reduce the html bloat. There is an option in the newer versions of Word for an HTML Cleaner option. Neither of these are flawless, however you will end up with something easier to both correct and work with. |
