No surprise there. I've read where the four worst HTML 'editors' are:
4. Microsoft FrontPage
3. Microsoft Word
2. Microsoft Excel
1. Microsoft Publisher

Wow! That has to be a new world's record!

..but that is rare. Normally, IE can comprehend, and all real browsers
screw up with all the MS bloat in there.

I like (for Windows) Crimson Editor ... but that is what it is, an
*editor*, not a word processor or code generator. It is also an

but remember, there are no WYSIWYMG 'editors' that generate error-free
