Re: Word to HTML (or vice versa)

It is not that I want to move from Word to HTML or anything like that. I
just maintain a web-site where I have a page which I also offer as a Word
doc. AT present I effectively create it twice, once in Word, once in HTML. I
would like to create it just in Word, and then convert it. I accept I would
have to tidy up, but that has to be better than my current method.
