I have been in the middle of a recent discussion on Writer/Web with others saying about the same things as Jean just mentioned. As near as I can tell, Writer/web can be used to do part of the work, but the resulting file needs to modified before it can be classified as valid by W3C. A basic understanding of CSS (cascading style sheets) is also needed. Styles are a definite prerequisite. However, web pages can be created with Writer/Web that most browsers will render fairly well. The main problem with the source code is either an addition of extra attributes (e.g., Name=Graphic1) or missing attribute (e.g., <STYLE> instead of <STYLE TYPE="TEXT/CSS">). Dan
