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.
