I guess that depends on your definition of improved. While there are
certainly improvements, I am not happy with a product that automatically
inserts a check for Netscape and redirects to an error page if I am not
using IE. (PowerPoint 2000). Its also very disappointing that the output
looks like it might be XML (xml namespace declarations, etc) but in fact
is not (for example, missing quotes in attribute values).

Ooh, I will look out for that one. I am running Win2k.

Yes. Then use Dave Ragetts "tidy" program which is optimised for taking
Office 97 files and turning them into HTML. Its Unicode-freindly as long
as you use UTF-8. It also has increasing support for dealing with
Word2000 files as well. It runs on a bunch of different platforms.
