From: Yves Dhondt on 23 Feb 2010 03:54 If you save as "Web Page, Filtered" the resulting code is cleaned up pretty good. But you have to realize that Word was never made to create webpages in the first place, there exist other programs for that. FrontPage doesn't exist anymore, so it seems unlikely that they want you to buy it. FrontPage has been replaced by several other tools from Microsoft depending on what you want to do. For creating ordinary webpages, try Visual Web Developer (http://www.microsoft.com/express/downloads/#2008-Visual-Web-Developer). It is a free website creator from Microsoft. The only limitation is that you can't use it for commercial purposes.
