Hi,

Conclusion: Don't use FrontPage. It adds extra unnecessary info to your pages. Don't even edit your html files with word. I saw once that this software changes all the slashes on your paths for backslashes, so your site will work perfect on IE, but it will fail with other browsers (netscape 4.x comes in mind, mozilla I think copes with this)
When I've had to pull stuff into Zope from the likes of FrontPage, I've "ripped" the site to a static copy using HTTrack (Open source, cross-platform, http://www.httrack.com/). This gave me a lot less to deal with manually than trying to start from the server-side files.
I've had quite a bit of success using WGET for pulling down web pages, and there may well be options included for converting filenames but I haven't needed to do this previously. I prefer a command line program for this sort of thing.
HTH
