A clueless non-techie just asking you mavens out there; Is it possible

Thanks for any remarks.

I suppose you are aware that composer's goal is to produce web pages.
The code to involved for this isn't the same as for word processing.

Bernard, I'm not convinced that your metaphor is correct. For the OP a
page-is-a-page; in fact lots of people use MS Word to compose web pages
since it can output html code. Lots of people love to "publish" via web
pages. More and more people "read" web pages ;-)
Ahh yes but to put it mildly, Word makes absolutely lousy html Code.
Don't believe it. Borrow a Copy of DreamWeaver and go to Tools menu and
choose Fix MS Word HTML. The html in word is used more for embellishing
text with bold, italic. underline They only place it renders properly is
to dowload it and open again in Office.
If your document is going to "live" as a web page, your word processor
should produce it.
I think the OP's question makes a lot of sense, especially in terms of
cloud computing and assuming that resources (e.g. speed) are not a
concern.
Which is more of a kludge: putting "links" into word processors (as we
know them) or putting Table Of Contents into Composer?
I see the OP's question as correctly portending the merger of word
processing and web page composition until there is no longer a
distinction.
sorry sorry sorry - my use of "ms word" is a red herring! pls ignore.
In an ideal world word processor should produce validatable html code.
