Good New Year to you All, Cemetery Survey: A lady is sending me 500 headstone photos on disk and sending me the names in a special format I asked her to use. Name; date one; date two; comments. I usually convert that to a table in MS Word using the ";" as the column separator. (The lady does not have Excel.) Then, I usually convert that to Excel and then decide if I want a table or <pre> text form for the web page. However, I have discovered a way to convert a Word file directly into a <pre> format for using Expression Web 3. (Expression Web 3 is a glorified program of FrontPage that has massive flaws when it comes to tables.) What is the best way to display a 500 name cemetery file with linked photos? How do you do it? I use EW3 but often fall back to using FrontPage because it is easier to use and does not crash like EW3 does. Happy New Year, all is well that ends well. Charles

Pat, Disagreement is good. But the main difference between FP and EW is the ability to save all open pages at one time under EW; and the ability to write universally accepted code under EW; and the ability to see "bad" code so you can fix it as you go along. Both programs still produce bloated code for tables unless you write some code. I will solve that problem before I add another cemetery in tables. That will be next week. Both programs produce pages that look differently in Fire Fox browsers vs MS browsers if tables are used and the cell and table defaults are used.
