RE: Word to HTML -- MIDRANGE-L

Why do you feel Frontpage is poor?  For web design, it's one of the best
WYSIWYG editors out there.  There are better, but Frontpage is by no means
poor.  Sure, Leo Laporte doesn't like it, but most people who don't like it
say that it is because it "reformats" your HTML.  It turns:

<TABLE>
<TR><TD>Table!</TD></TR>
<TABLE>

into

<table>
  <tr>
    <td>Table!<td>
  </tr>
</table>

So what.  If you want to do pure HTML with no GUI, use Notepade or CuteHTML.
If you want WYSIWYG with HTML tweaking, Frontpage works just fine.

If you stay away from the extensions, it works great.
