Possibly?
But then perhaps MS also recognized the damage MS-Word caused to MS-Front
Page's product and reputation?

In the most recent version of MS-Office, FP was removed from that package
and must be purchased separately.

The MVP's that I communicate with are support volunteers as opposed to MS-

At least the Word MVP's have recognized and promote that Word is NOT an
ideal tool for creating html.
