There's no such thing as "Word", especially when it comes to HTML
editing.
'97 was borderline usable for such things, although far from good.
Word 2000 broke and 2003 is a complete and utter abomination. 2003
isn't even very good as a word-processor -- they changed significant
behaviours around collapsing margins so that many old Word docs no
longer print correctly, they broke the style editing user interface and
they added the appalling "Research" feature that sends commercially
sensitive copies of your document content to M$oft, without any sort of
confirmation beforehand.
Secondly, your claims of "good editing features", "search and replace"
etc. aren't a patch on freeware or very cheap editors like TextPad or
jEdit. Word really just isn't a good choice here, however you call it.
