Re: Frame versus Word

[Dan Emory <danemory@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sounds to me like the tail is wagging the dog. If the "outside entity" wants
a "straight conversion", and isn't willing to use the right tools, then find
someone else to do it. It sounds like your "outside entity's" competency is
limited to producing shovelware.

Why not convert them to PDF for online delivery? That would preserve the
format and layout of the document, unlike HTML.
