I'm a little embarassed I forgot to try anything like that, and you've hit the nail right on the head. Instead of submitting anything i simply tried the copy/paste to Writer from compliant coders. I tried their own pages at w3c and also went to another site I knew claimed to be compliant. And, they created definitely usable documents. As much as they get bashed for it, there are times when Quirks Modes turns out more useful than I thought, I guess. And why MS's code isn't compliant either<g>. The latest junk experience came from trying to get some of Dell's support pages for posterity. Okay, so: What can I do to make it a workable situation for Writer at V 3? Any suggestions at all? I'm not stealing copyright material; I just want to assemble some Support paperwork on disk for future Dell TSing. Am I stuck with Word for the time being?
