Default Does Word 2007 save doc as html with relative font size?

Thanks for your reply.

MS should take a poll to see how many users actually need the whole round
trip - converting doc to html then back to doc - compared with one-way trips
(doc to html or html to doc).

Why not have an option for one-way doc to html?

A one-way file would be smaller and have the advantage of valid CSS, using
relative font size, enabling the browser user to View/change text size (an
option in Internet Explorer).

In Word 2002, Save as html filtered generates html code specifying absolute
font size. Therefore Microsoft Internet Explorer user cannot change font size
(View, Change font size).

Is there any improvement in Word 2007?

Also, Word 2002 generates invalid CSS data.

Word's HTML features were never designed for HTML editing. Their primary purpose
is fidelity when viewing the document using a browser (Internet Explorer) and
full round-trip capability. Since Word itself doesn't use relative font sizes,
this isn't supported in Word's HTML. There has certainly been no change in 2007.
