All I can say is, my client dosen't know HTML & is *not* typing that crap in
herself - so if FP isn't doing it, where is it coming from??? The Twilight
Zone?
I tried once to clean up one of her pages & gave up; it would have taken
about five times as long to do the repairs as it would have to hunt & peck
the simple page out in notepad from scratch. & I KNOW FOR A FACT that she
didn't put the links to mickysoft in her pages - she didn't even realize
they were there!!! Others may not have the same experiences I have, but I'm
not lying about mine.

BTW, thought I'd mention 1st Page has tidy built in. It would take me about
three hours to describe all the other great features it has. It *is* all a
matter of opinion what someone prefers to use.
