Or is that your intent? I am always amazed at how completely you abhor PDF files, but I can't recall exactly why. Considering that all you need is a copy of OpenOffice (win/lin) or NeoOffice/J (Mac) to get a quick an easy "export to PDF" icon on the toolbar from you formatted document, and since every major OS platform has commercial and free PDF readers available, some have it built into the OS itself, I fail to understand why you don't like them. > After all, it's not as if Word can't read HTML files.
