Users of Microsoft Office 2000 may find their HTML exported pages only display well in Internet Explorer, or that their code is not approved by a validator. Although any editor should produce HTML code that is valid, but there are a few editors that do not adhere to guidelines, and unfortunately this includes Microsoft Word 97 and 2000.

However, help is on the way in the form of Word 2000 HTML Tidy. This will strip out surplus proprietary tags, excessive HTML markup and poor formatting and generate a better (if not optimized) document, which should display well in many browsers. Don't use this if you want absolutely no changes to Word 2000 HTML.
