FP2000: Dragging or Pasting Text from Excel 2000 Removes Formatting

When you paste or drag a cell or cells from Microsoft Excel 2000 into a new page in FrontPage 2000, the formatting styles for the text in the cell are lost.

Excel creates an embedded style sheet that writes the formatting code for the document. When you copy or drag a formatted cell or text from an Excel document into a FrontPage document, the embedded style sheet is not copied.

When you paste or drag a cell from Excel 2000 into FrontPage 2000, you need to either reformat the information in FrontPage or follow these steps:

1. Open Microsoft Word 2000 and click New Blank Document on the Standard toolbar.
2. In Excel, select the text you want inside the cell or cells.
3. Drag the text into the new document you created in Word.
4. Select the text in Word.
5. Drag the text into the page you want in FrontPage.
