Not only do they look terrible, the HTML is terrible too... a total mess.I tried a Save as HTML with Word 2000 (preview release) a few months back. The HTML it made was completely riddled with CSS and XML. A simple one pager became a 25KB document. The page didn't look well AT ALL in Netscape 4, although it looked half-decent in IE4. Looking at the HTML it was pretty clear that it was totally groomed for IE5.
When someone gives me a word file, I:
Select All
Copy
In Frontier, I paste the code into a WP-Text object,
In the QuickScript window, I execute:
wp.setText("
" + string.replaceAll(wp.getText(), "\r\n\r\n", "
\r\r") + "
")Select All
Copy
Paste into Dreamweaver
Re-Apply the necessary styles (bold, headings, italics, colours, etc)
Convert to 3.x
Select All (HTML)
Copy
Paste back into Frontier
Remove everything outside (and including) the BODY tag.
Needless to say, I really appreciate it when people give me plain text to work with :-)
