Re: Are all HTML conversion utilities PURE EVIL ?!??!!

MS Word in Office97 does a fairly decent job.   But I agree, that office
2000 is outrageously bad.  Their 300 lines of code is not even standard
html. I understand that it is compatible only with IE5.

It made me glad that I kept the Office97 version when I 'upgraded'.
