You know what? This is a most excellent idea!!! Now why didn't I think of
it?

Using a WYSIWYG is definitely faster as to initial development and I for one
continue to use FrontPage for quick, down and dirty development in a WYSIWYG
format but I have always been just dense enough to try and re-open any
changes made with HomeSite (or even notepad!) with the FrontPage editor and
upload, of course, with FrontPage Explorer.

If I had been a little brighter, I could have just FTP'd my changes and not
had the headaches of FP98 thinking it knows what I want better than I do!

Thanks!
