This is essentially a test of Microsoft Word’s ability to format HTML.  I can honestly say it is rare that I utilize this feature, and when I do, it is primarily for the benefit of someone else.  My aunt submits a monthly column to a website using this feature and routinely has issues. 

I prefer writing code myself, because Word adds a large amount of ‘less-than-useful’ code.  Now don’t get me wrong, this is merely my (and a lot of others’) opinion.  Front Page, being from the same family, acts the same.  I will give credit to both for their WYSIWYG-like capabilities, however, which is sometimes a raw programming obstacle, especially with tables.

I am not claiming to be a professional/master/guru programmer, but I have moderate experience in HTML/XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, C++, Visual Basic, and COBOL.  I also have experience in BASIC (which I started programming at the age of 11), but it is rarely even mentioned this day in age!  I am fascinated by programming languages in general, and I hope to someday be doing it on a regular basis and getting paid well for it. 

Well, here goes nothing.  This entire article is written in 12pt Tahoma, but what you see in HTML has more to do with your browser.  You can program web pages to be browser friendly for easy viewing on most browsers, but individual settings can also alter the displayed results.
