Actually, we all have to wait for MS Office 2000 tools. Word 2000 will -
hopefully, that is - not mess arround with unknown HTML tags anymore. It
will even provide the same layout and functionality except passwords and
versioning (in Word documents). See

for further info.

Once HTMLed, the file NEVER goes back to Word as HTML. If I want/need to end
the file, I rename it to *.txt and import it into Word (with all the nasty
HTML code) where I edit to my little heart's desire. Since it is NOT a Word
file - make certain to SAVE AS PLAIN TEXT - Word does not attempt to
"rename" anything -- including <IMG SRC="">. This is not a "been there/done
that" sort of thing ... this is "am here/doing this" - real life for me.
