Hi Loretta, Yes the convert to PDF usually works great-except in WordPerfect where you have to use Distiller to get it the best it can be. Word can produce HTML but it also produces some of the worst bloated code so it needs to be trimmed (sometimes it is more work than using simple text and making HTML from there!) I use Acrobat 5 to produce PDFs-I haven't yet converted them to HTML-that is the next fun part ;) For the Word docs I would make them into HTML and then use Dreamweaver to strip the code. Although this only gets me HTML and XHTML-but I am okay with that for right now-as long as it is standards compliant HTML. I suspect it is easier to convert the original doc into HTML than the PDF-especially with the three column stuff.
