When you paste text, graphics, or drawing objects in Design view in Microsoft FrontPage, the Paste Options
button appears near the pasted content.
When you click the Paste Options button, a list appears that lets you determine the appearance of the content you are pasting. The available options depend on the type of content you are pasting, the program you are pasting from, and the format of the text where you are pasting.
Options for pasting text
-
Use Destination Styles Use this option to remove the styles copied from the original document, and use the styles in the current FrontPage document instead.
Example
If you copy Heading 2 text from a Microsoft Word document to a page in FrontPage, selecting Use Destination Styles ensures that the FrontPage Heading 2 style is applied. This is useful if Heading 2 is formatted differently in the two programs and you want to use the FrontPage formatting.
-
Keep Source Formatting Use this option to preserve the style formatting of the source document, regardless of the styles in the current FrontPage document.
Example
If you copy Heading 2 text from a Microsoft Word document to a page in FrontPage, selecting Keep Source Formatting ensures that the Word Heading 2 style is applied. This is useful if Heading 2 is formatted differently in the two programs and you want to keep the Word formatting.
-
Keep Text Only Use this option to remove all formatting, and paste the selection as plain text.
Example
In FrontPage, if you copy a sentence that uses Arial font and is boldfaced, and paste it to another spot in the same document, selecting Keep Text Only ensures that just the text is pasted and that the font and text formatting are removed.
-
Treat as HTML Tags Use this option when you want FrontPage to render rather than display HTML tags.
Example
If you copy an example of HTML code from a Web browser (for example, <i>italic text</i>) to a page in FrontPage, selecting Treat as HTML Tags ensures that the example code is rendered as italic text.
Options for pasting drawing objects or graphics
- Keep Source Formatting Use this option to preserve the positioning (positioning: Positioning is another way to place elements, such as text and graphics, on a page. Positioning lets the page author control the exact location and layer order of a page element.) attributes that were applied to the drawing object in the source document.
Example
If you copy a right-aligned drawing object from a Microsoft Word document to a page in FrontPage, selecting Keep Source Formatting ensures that the original alignment is preserved.
- Microsoft Office Drawing Object Use this option to paste a drawing object without preserving the positioning attributes from the original document.
Example
If you copy a right-aligned drawing object from a Microsoft Word document to a page in FrontPage, selecting Microsoft Office Drawing Object removes the code specifying the alignment of the drawing object.
- Paste as an Image Tag Use this option to convert a pasted Microsoft Office drawing object into a GIF (GIF: A graphics file format (.gif extension in Windows) used to display indexed-color graphics on the World Wide Web. It supports up to 256 colors and uses lossless compression, meaning that no image data is lost when the file is compressed.) file when the page is saved.
Example
If you copy a drawing object from a Microsoft Office document to a page in FrontPage, VML (Vector Markup Language (VML): A system of marking up, or tagging, two-dimensional vector graphics for publishing on the World Wide Web. VML graphics are scalable and editable, usually take less time to download, and require less disk space.) code associated with the image is visible in Code view. The Paste as an Image Tag option ensures the conversion of the element to a GIF image.
Note You are prompted to save the newly created GIF file when you save the Web page.
- Resample Picture to Match Size Use this option to resize and resample an image you paste into your Web page from an external source.
Example
If you copy a 100x100 pixel photograph from a Web site on the World Wide Web, and you resize it to 50x50 pixels, you select this option to size and resample (resample: Changing the pixel dimensions (and therefore the physical file size) of a picture or a graphic. Graphics can be resampled down (the number of pixels decreased) or resampled up (the number of pixels increased).) the image in your Web page.
