Just for the Halibut (fishy reasons), i opened the HTML in Nerd, and
futzed around to try to get it to look similar to what one sees online.
Well, it was not possible, and the resulting HTML code generated by
Nerd was an order of magniture larger than before (so what else can one
expect from M$?).
And to add insult to that injury, there were 107 errors (i had
started with a "mere" 22 erors).
WordPerfect X3 was harder to deal with looks.
The only "good" thing was that there were only 2 errors flagged.
I guess the moral is to never use a tool for a different function,
and never expect decent conversions from internal native form to exernal
foreign forms.
