Andrew,
               I do realize that your inquiry is genuine and you likely
have an intended use in mind. . .however. . .the mere bulk of all the crap
html that Word produces is beyond reason. After anybody has made a
frustrating attempt at manually cleaning a Word html page, I can't imagine
anybody in a sane state of mind that would take that additional time to
document the edited html. (assuredly NOT a user of Word.)

I'm assuming that your attempting to create a method to develop some sort of
html cleaner?
Why recreate tools that already exist?

Hi Andrew,

MS Word web documents use several W3C based
codings including HTML, CSS, XML, VML.

XML tags do not need to be predefined (they're
considered 'self documenting') but basically
the <o:... (Office  <w:... (Word)  <p:... (paragraph)
and so on, that correlate to the Word .doc content
styles and formatting.

Some of the web document content is controlled by
the settings in Tools=>Options=>General=>[Web Options]
and others by choosing to use File=>Save As=>WebPage-Filtered
in place of File=>Save As=>WebPage.

If you have an old copy of Word97 around, it'll create
a lot cleaner HTML code; none of the bloat, etc..  xml
et al aren't really intended for writing web pages on
the internet; they're more for internal pages, I think.

HTH,

Pop

Hi Pop,

FWIW, limiting factors in
Word 97's HTML add-on is that, like Word97
it can't do nested tables or CSS, and is limited
to 16 colors for text.

It does have a couple of features no longer in
later versions though as well :)

Yup, I agree Bob;
WD97's not the cutting edge, but it is pretty useful as
long as it's only one of your tools and you don't want
a complexity in your coding.  It's simplicity in
itself, IMO.    I should have mentioned pros/cons I
guess, amongst some other things, but I didn't consider
it relevant at the time for some reason.  I only seem
to have two online modes:  Write-a-book, and
Reader-Digest.  Never do get the right combo!
  I survived just fine with a combo of WRD97, Front
Page Express, IE and NoteTAB, up to about a year ago.
At the moment I'm on to NVU, an open source
wysiwyg/code editor that's at rev 1.0 after a long Beta
and still needs work, but ... it's the closest to a
turnkey I've found to date, not counting the
dreamweavers of the world, etc..  The only thing it
won't do is Frames, which is NBD to me 'cause CSS has
finally caught on.  So, between NVU, IE and
Mozilla/Netscape, I'm feeling pretty good.

Cheers!

Pop
