Default Creating Web Pages using Word

Have a look at http://cvs.nvu.com/index.php:

"Nvu (pronounced N-view)
Finally! A complete Web Authoring System for Linux desktop users as
well as Microsoft Windows and Macintosh users to rival programs like
FrontPage and Dreamweaver. Nvu (which stands for "new view") makes
managing a web site a snap. Now anyone can create web pages and
manage a website with no technical expertise or knowledge of HTML."

Nvu is free and open source.

....

CAUTION: NVU has been stranded for almost two years now. It IS good for
basic html, but ... beware the more complex functions. Before you use it,
go to their forum and read up on it. There's also a list of bugs someplace
on the site - well worth your time. It's no Dreamweaver or Fusion, but it
is usable for the most part. Do not use its ftp abilities for uploading;
it's buggy; use your own ftp program. And don't be too surprised that it
rewrites and reformats the code you write and numbers lines improperly.

If it's design is "alive" again, great; otherwise I'd stay away from NVU
unless you're still learning HTML. YOu'll also want tidy.exe to go with it.
