Maybe you can help me with mine? I'm waiting to get a book which also doesn't reccommend msword. I will stick with wordpad. I also plan to follow the book, but if you could assist, that would be great! "We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.--Joseph Campbell

My experience is that learning html is the best way to avoid future problems. I have not created any sites in ms word but I do believe as someone mentioned that word adds extra code and probably plenty of it. This can make it difficult to update and maintain. At one point I created a site in an app called NetObject fusion. This was when I was sighted and a couple of years ago when I wanted to update it it was a total nightmare as it had added so much extra code that finally I just scrapped the whole site and started from scratch. You never have real control over what the program does or how it does it. I don't much care for programs that think they know better than I do what it is that I want to achieve. I write code in html using wordpad, code xhtml, some php, add java, streaming music which is extremely easy btw, and more. What I don't know when it comes to word is the working of adding true accessibility on a site. I add captions and alternate text myself where I need it and I have full control. It is fun, frustrating when first starting but worth the hours of reading and experimenting in my opinion.
