Re: Word HTML

Hi all and thanks for the feedback.  Just to clear the record...I was NOT
recommending ever using Word to create an html document and I certainly will
never do it again.  I had a client give me a very lengthy Word file to be
put on the web so I thought I would experiment and was so appalled by the
result that I had to tell somebody who would share my disgust...hence the
initial letter to all of YOU.  :-)
Thanks!

Honestly, if it's HTML, it's best to be in NOTEPAD, IMO.  The only reason I
can see using word for web development would be spellcheck, which would be a
pain in the ass since it won't recognize any tags.  Other WYSIWYG editors
usually have spellcheck though, if they're worth their salt.

 Hum, to me when microsoft says "add-on" I think, oops, they
screwed up again and made something to attempting to cover
their....., well , you get the picture!

But, I do appreciate Chuck letting us know that this is available. I
keep getting clients who think that they are helping me by
submitting content as HTML created through MSWord.

Can you say frustrating! I knew you could!
