Yes it's saved as a normal word doc.
Textmerge is easier to code IMHO. ie:
set textmerge to memvar myVar noshow
set textmerge on
\<HTML><BODY><TABLE>
scan
\<TR>
if SomeCondition
for ix=1 to fcount()
\<TD class=<<iif(Something,"BoldEtcClass","AnotherClass")>>>
\\<<eval(field(ix))>></TD>
endfor
else
endif
\</TR>
endscan
\</TABLE></BODY></HTML>
set textmerge to
set textmerge offCetin
