- July 1, 2003, on Converting from Microsoft Word to HTML:
I'm sorry if someone has said this but there were a lot of responses and someone may have missed it. UK legislation to be introduced in about a years time will be very harsh on company websites that do not offer adequate accessability options - i.e allowing users to change font or font size and bg colour - to help people with learnig or reading dificulties. When word creates html it seems to put so many tags in that a lot of these facilities will not work. This is perhaps a consideration if you are using word for a vaguely commercial site as the UK gov have claimed they will agressively enforce this law.
