...and I am grateful for his caution. However, when I wrote, "...respondents
suggested conversion to HTML...," I was referring to suggestions that we
convert from, say, Word to HTML. Sorry for the ambiguity. I think
these suggestions were motivated, as I posted earlier, by a
reluctance to require folks to confront the elaborate business of
downloading an application and making it run. Word processor to HTML
conversion, they suggested as well, does not result in a document
that looks like the original form...unless of course the original
form had been produced on a word processor using little of the
fancy-schmancy apparatus of fonts 'n' stuff that comes with these
applications.
