It would be like writing your own PostScript code for a printer instead of letting Word generate it for you. It has been done in the past but no one in his right mind would do it now. My last word.

The point is that I can write more efficient code than Frontpage, Dreamweaver and their ilk, just as I have a much better grammar checker between my ears than any included in a word processor. I've been writing in a variety of programming languages for 40 years, which is probably longer than most of the HTML publishing tools programmers have been alive. My last word. Dale H.
