Hi Nadezhda, The original reason I started using Tidy was to do Word-To-HTML conversion. MS has published an improved filter, which I believe Fred uses. For information on how to get and use the MS filter, see: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q291325 Maintaining files in Word is convenient if you need both PDF and HTML output. We found a bit of prep work on the Word side helped a great deal. In particular, getting folks to use Word styles like Heading 1, 2, 3 and apply styles for bullet and numbered lists. These come through to HTML as class attributes for applying fonts, colors, etc. The only post-processing we needed to do was to insert a link to our real CSS stylesheet. A very simple sed script did the trick. About size, Tidy is an in-memory program. But with most computers having tens of MB of RAM available, it would take a huge document to blow it out. To guesstimate the RAM needed, take the HTML file size and double or triple it. hope this helps, Charlie
