Re: Dreamweaver

         I also love Dreamweaver and have never really had a problem 
converting Word Documents. I just slip back into Allaire home site and 
clean up any left over bits and pieces. My biggest issue lately is that 
Dreamweaver UltraDev seems to be scrunching large blocks of  html code and 
other. This makes it somewhat of a pain to hand code. It does seem to leave 
certain parts of the code alone. I have attempted to play with preferences 
to make it leave alignment alone, but without much success.
         Still, I would not give up Fireworks/Dreamweaver UltraDev for 
anything. I just keep Homesite handy and close to get in and clean up any 
coding catastrophes.
