I agree. But Peter said he was using MSWord to create "the file", and he was talking about an html file. I did not see him complaining about what MSWord was creating for him, and dumping it to PDF, then it should be fine.

I use a web brower control/editor to compose message templates, not necessarily html "reports".

Curious, are you creating html "reports" and what are you using?
