Word Spellchecking HTML

J

Jason Madison

How can I get Word 2000 to spellcheck some simple HTML and retain simple
HTML tags?

Here is my test HTML before the spellcheck:

<html>
<body>
<font face="arial">
onex twox <i>threex<i> <b>fourx</b>
</body>
</html>

The same HTML after I had run the spellcheck is at the bottom of this
message - basically there is 100 times as much code.

Outlook Express appears able to spellcheck HTML without converting it into
"Word HTML", so is there some way to do this?

I understand Word 2003 has better facilities for retaining HTML formatting,
but I would like to know if this is possible in Word 2000.

Thanks
