MS Word 2000 has the advantage that it "correctly" handles tabs ... but it does this by using xml and style sheets :{ a formula that gaurantees poor performance in many browsers.
Examples
The html files created by Microsoft Word 97 original and SR2 are identical. (I could not find any additional version information.)
| File | Size doc/html | |
|---|---|---|
| Minutes | 22Kb/5Kb | Good conversion.
The 2 header lines are centered (as they should be),
but the first paragraph is not.
(Its not clear whether it should be centered.
It is in the original email attachment,
but not in the saved doc file.)
There are beginning and ending <p> tags around each paragraph.
The th in "11th" is rendered as a superscript. |
| Survey | 21Kb/3Kb | Fairly poor conversion.
Because the rating selections were entered using tabs,
Word formatted the page with tabs (which do not render) where
a table would have been better.
Manual conversion to fix tabs with lists and <pre> - 2Kb
