Word's HTML output really is epically bad. There are multiple software tools that exist to do nothing but remove the suck, fail, and horrid from Word HTML not because various persons have opinions about Microsoft products, or were bored, but because Word's HTML output is frequently both unavoidable and unusable without serious post-processing. >> But, really, if you want to learn how to do this, get a decent free HTML >> editor for your platform of choice, and start chewing through the >> w3schools tutorial. > > Guess I'm just feeling tired and a bit defeated.

Keep in mind that it's too much to learn in one go. You're at the equivalent stage of not knowing comfortably or reliably precisely what exposure is. It gets simpler once the whole concept of form/content separation and the distinction between an element and an attribute settle in and get comfortable in your head. > Perhaps, I'll enjoy > some fireworks and potato salad this weekend and try again next week.--By > the way--happy Canada Day!
