Re: Word HTML

As one who receives documents in Word that need to be transformed to Web 
pages I'm interested in this.  Many of the documents I receive are flyers 
which need to be put online, so there are a lot of formatting issues as 
well as text.  I'll save in html and then immediately run Tidy.  Then I 
start cleaning up what's left.  Tidy's good, but not perfect.  What I'm 
wondering is does this microsoft filter work for older versions of Word 
than 2000?  I use 97 still and see no reason to upgrade.
