Doron--

Have Word generate an HTML file and you'll see that the HTML behind incorporating a graphic at a specific position on a page has some complexity.

If you're generating straight HTML, take a look at SVG (requires plugin for IE/Nav) or VML (supported natively in IE 5 at least, no versions available for Netscape). SVG (scalar vector graphics) or VML (vector markup language) use XML to generate graphic images. Those that you describe can be created and positioned without creating separate graphic files and positioning them through tables. VML was developed by a consortium and promoted by MS. After some attention a couple years ago, not much has happened. VML is supported by a consortium also, and the W3C has released a standard on it.

>>HI Doron,
>>
>>Can't imagine why you would need circles and boxes in an html report. If you're thinking of creating a gif with a box in order to place it around existing text, it won't work. Can't do that in html. You would need to use several lines and a table to achieve this effect.
>>
>>However, to get away with lines (and with boxes around text by joining four lines), you could create a single-pixel gif and stretch it horizontally or vertically via html code to get lines of any length you may want.
