You are not helping. You have just replaced one unstructured document format with another. While Word doc files can be made structured(using styles), I am certain RTF format doesn't. Either. a. Let them stick to Word. In about 1-2 years, both MSOffice and Open/StarOffice are going XML. It will be easier interchanging/Converting then. A problem maybe of microsoft enforcing some kind of DRM control over Office files(even though I have heard that Palladium launch has been postponed) b. Instead of converting RTF to HTML, it would probably be easier to convert DOC to HTML. c. Why dont the students create in homework in frontpage straightaway? ;) - Sandip -- -------------------------------------------------------- Sandip Bhattacharya sandipb <@> bigfoot.com http://www.sandipb.net GPG/PGP: 0x08EB637C -------------------------------------------------------- ================================================ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in subject header.
