Hello guys.
Is it just my imagination, or is FrontPage 2000 (HTML coding) much better than FP 2003 ¿

Let me explain the scenario.
At home, I have FP 2003
At work I have FP 2000.

Right, so now I'm busy with an article for CG (which takes forever), and in my silly mind I thought I can do it at home, then backup, then continue at work and vice versa - should be simple enough, agree¿
No it isn't!
Because FP 2003 includes an xml namespace, and includes very much unecessary codes everywhere.
Let me give an example:
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shape
id="_x0000_s1060" type="#_x0000_t75" alt="" style='width:114pt;height:196.5pt'>
<v:imagedata src="vb6_files/image007.jpg" o:href="file:///C:\HanneSThEGreaT\Projects\Articles\Busy\vb6projexplorerformmenu.JPG"/>
</v:shape><![endif]--><![if !vml]><img border=0 width=152 height=262
src="vb6_files/image007.jpg" v:shapes="_x0000_s1060"><![endif]><br>
The above code it inserts with EVERY picture I include on the page, then it also creates a folder, pagename_files. inside that it created an xml file referencing the pictures, which are all of a suddenly renamed by FP!

And it does this for every table:
<style>
<!--
table.MsoNormalTable
{mso-style-parent:"";
font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Times New Roman"}
table.MsoTableGrid
{border:1.0pt solid windowtext;
font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Times New Roman"}
-->
</style>

I didn't ask for that, I didn't check an option to do that, is it Automatic¿
Can I change how it works¿

If that wasn't irritating enough, FP 2003 includes:
class="MsoNormal" in every paragraph

and
<span lang="EN-ZA"> after that
I literally spent the entire day removing everything.
Bottom line

How can I change the inner workings of FP 2003 not to irritate me so much in the future ¿
