Out of curiosity, using Word 2000, I saved a simple text file as HTML. I
also hand coded the same file in Notepad. My html document was about 30
lines of text and code; Word's was, I kid you not, about 300 lines. I've
never seen anything so absurd. On the other hand, Word was a lot
faster...I'm sure if you search you'll find a better conversion program than
Word.
