I take it you've never saved a document in HTML format in word then.
Of course I have. I just know, as a web developer, that Word's HTML save feature isn't worth spending the time it takes to right click it and select Delete, even.
Frontpage is no better for quality of HTML, though.
<coughs> Frontpage XP and up is much better than ... any version of Word. It even doesn't mess up hand coded html anymore. I think I counted about 3 useless lines of code it created (as well as all the tags willy nilly, of course).
