It sounds like you have opened a MS Word file (.doc) and tried to
convert that to HTML. I would recommend you first save it as an open
document format (.odt) first. Then you might consider going through the
document assigning styles to the paragraphs (and characters if necessary).
After getting the .odt file exactly how you want it, saving it as a HTML
file should be a little cleaner. But it will not be perfect.
Finally, access the HTML code to make any additional changes you need.
To do this, you might need an HTML editor or a text editor.
Any WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) HTML program (such as
Writer) will give you the things which you have seen. However, I am
thinking that the problems under #1 are more likely caused by using a .doc
file as the original rather than an .odt file.
