Microsoft Word claims to create a valid HTML file. In fact, what it creates can only reliably be read by Internet Explorer. (It may even only be read by recent versions of Internet Explorer.) The file that it produces contains a number of proprietary tags as well as proprietary variations of standard HTML that only Microsoft understands. wget has a simple HTML parser that cannot understand these variations. While there may be someone who is interested in patching the wget parser to deal with Word's pseudo-HTML, I doubt that such changes would ever become part of a standard wget release. You might have better luck finding someone who is willing to write a program to convert Word's pseudo-HTML into real HTML that can be read by most HTML parsers. Since you're in an academic setting, your odds of finding someone willing to do this kind of program might be higher. Good luck. Tony
