Re: Fw: Disturbing trend in tables

Hi:

In FrontPage 2000, you can set the content-type meta tag by adding it to the
normal.htm template used for all new pages.  See:
http://www.cmac.state.ct.us/access/tutorials/defaultdoctype.htm

Then in your web, Tools | Web Settings | Language, set the Default page
encoding to <none>.
