Unable to Select Find in Source Code Radio Button

I am trying to find text in my source code, but the Find in Source Code radio button is disabled and I can't click it.

If you currently have Current page selected in the Find Where section of the dialog, the Find in Source Code radio button will be disabled. In this case, the button is checked or unchecked automatically depending on whether you are in a view that displays code. If you open the Find dialog box while in a view that displays code, FrontPage will automatically search in your code.

Text Not Found When Searching HTML Using HTML Rule

When I search for my text in HTML code and I'm using an HTML Rule, my text is not found. What's wrong?

There's a trick to searching in HTML text when you have an HTML Rule enabled. If you are setting an HTML Rule to search for something contained inside a particular tag, FrontPage will not find that text if the text is part of the tag itself, such as an attribute of the tag.

The following example shows a link to the Jimco Add-ins Web site:

 <a href="http://www.jimcoaddins.com">Jimco Add-ins</a> 

In this example, if you are searching for Jimco Add-ins using an HTML Rule configured to find text inside the <a> tag, it will produce a match. However, if you are searching for http://www.jimcoaddins.com with the same HTML Rule applied, a match will not be produced. This is because http://www.jimcoaddins.com is an attribute of the <a> tag and not considered to be inside it. Jimco Add-ins is considered to be inside the <a> tag because it appears between the opening <a> tag and the closing </a> tag.
