Word was never intended by MS to be used as a tool for creating web pages,
rather a transport medium for returning Word docs FROM html created pages,
back INTO their original Word doc form.
Word uses both bloated and deprecated html.
Word has destroyed the reputation of FP all a result of knowlegeable
webamsters believing the bloat was created by FP.
FP is far perfect and still provides both bloated and deprecated html,
however FP is light-years ahead of Word.
I've spent nearly two years in Word groups in an effort to establish this
points and have finally begun making headway and having others understand
and pass on these same thoughts.
If you desire to instruct children on web pages?
The best place to begin is with some instructional pages designed for
children;
