Over twenty of my colleagues, both professional and paraprofessional, use 
it very successfully for both internal and public web pages.  I've trained 
them all, but most need little training for routine pages, graphics, 
layout, forms, and so forth.

Of course not.  Web pages are nothing but text files containing HTML 
tags.  I've used ColdFusion Studio, HomeSite, Adobe GoLive, Notepad, and 
other editors on web pages created in FP2K.

Well, if you standardize on one editor your life will undoubtedly be 
simpler.  But that is true on word processors, spreadsheets, or other 
programs, too.  We generally standardize to simplify communications and 
training, but don't require it.

I've never run into any file size limitations on FP2000, but can't 
guarantee there aren't any.  FP2000 is much better than FP97 or 98, and 
doesn't mess with code created in other programs.
