Hi,
I've just had a quick glance - looks really useful, thanks.

I amused by the irony of a rant being saved as Word HTML though - worthy of
a rant in itself! Looking at the source though it does look like they've
improved things considerably - there's even a ns ref to the HTML 4 rec.
Maybe the tool in Dreamweaver specifically for sorting out Word HTML is no
longer needed. I wonder though if it will display properly on Netscape...

Cheers,
Danny.
