i didn't think notepad had any formating? i thought it was a wordpad thing.

The easiest thing would be a simple php script for updating, if your server supported that... it'd probably be about tutorial 6ish on any beginners guides to php.

Failing that you just need to do a little bit of extra leg work...

However i have no experience using front page... have you tried doing it manually? i know front page has tons of issues with the code it outputs.

Can you submit the html code generated by front page?

So we can see exactly what it's doing with its code?

You might be better c&p it into word, and format it, i'm pretty sure formatting in word can be copied/pasted.
