I used it for all of 10 seconds before I trashed it.

If I've got huge things that are in Word format I just select the
entire document and cut and paste it into my HTML author (currently
Netscape Composer). It's so much faster and cleaner than Word's HTML
author.

The thing was that it showed up pretty good when I tested it in a
browser. Only the moment I started fine tuning it in HomeSite and
using the validator I noticed how messed up it was.

Good thing that I do have a good html version now which should make
my work so much easier (good thing too, since Kama send me about
twenty stories I missed)
