Wow, this has created quite a ruckus. I'm sure that Word creates all sorts of crap I don't need or want. However, after working in code a few times for classes in web pages and other programming, I have decided that I HATE code. I only delve into it in an emergency. Word is a nasty program, but for quick and dirty web pages, it seems to do the trick. I've used Frontpage, and an older Composer and I agree that they aren't any good. I now use Dreamweaver for anything the least bit complicated and it should do anything I could ever want.
