[Chevelle-list] OT: Microsoft Publisher 2007

[Michael Pell]

I certainly agree with all the comments about using Publisher.  It is 
not a web site development tool, and at least with the 2003 version, 
produces some awful .html code, and the pages are poor at best.

And to be clear from my end, I'm not really "choosing" to use 
Publisher.   I've been asked to electronically publish a school 
newsletter, and they build their newsletter in Publisher.  :-)  So, 
Publisher it is.  I just want to see what I can do other than convert it 
to PDF (which does work quite well).

My choice of web development tools is NetObjects Fusion 
(www.netobjects.com).  I've been using it for about 10 years, and really 
like it.
Not that I'm a "big time" web developer.......
