Ah Cheryl...the paste as HTML (right-click) is a much better solution. 

YES, yes. Interdev was definitely oriented toward the programmer side. It
utilized the ever-hated FrontPage components for graphic design. It was (I
guess really still is) noted for GARBAGE in your HTML. Most people I have
ever know that used it, used it as an editor for the code itself. Rarely if
ever would you use it to design a page. 

The first time I ever made an ASP application, I was told to start with the
Design Time Controls (DTC). BAD, BAD, BAD IDEA. The application has limped
along until the most recent incantation of IE (6.0). The browser no longer
renders the drop down listboxes correctly. Apparently the on_change event of
the DTC doesn't fire correctly and we are now in the process of re-writing
the application using true HTML elements and style sheets.

So, Interdev is a glorified editor that know (some) intellisense. I do
concur that .NET 2003 is much improved.

interdev


Interdev is obsolete and was never a good front-end editor anyway. Visual
Studio.NET is the replacement and much better. FWIW, Interdev (and to a
lesser extent the first release of Visual Studio.NET) were intended as
Windows programmers tools not web developers tools. 

Best work around for your problem is to make an intermediate stop in
Notepad. Paste from Word to Notepad. Then from Notepad to Interdev. That
will remove all the word garbage.

You can also save from Word as plain text which will tell you that it will
remove all styles if you do so, go ahead. Then open in Notepad and paste
from there.
