SYMPTOMS

You may experience one of the following problems when you use Microsoft Visual Studio 2008:

In Visual Studio 2008 IDE, when you open and edit a segment of relative HTML text that is big and complex, an HTML tag may become distorted. For example, "</i>" becomes "/i>," or "</h4>" becomes "/h4>." Additionally, some HTML fragments may be moved to other locations.
You open an ASP.NET Web application in Visual Studio 2008 IDE. In the Design view, you select a part of the content, you delete it, and then you paste a segment of text from Microsoft Word or Notepad. When you do this, a random segment of code appears near the previously selected text in the Source view.

After you install Visual Studio 2008 SP1, the META tag in FPAC will be changed from <meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 6.0"> to <meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 12.0">. The HTMLed feature will then cover all the changes for the relative page.
