---> No package really does it all <-----
will HAVE to do some manual
editing of your pages.
The "cheater's" way to get your content up on the Web Fast and with
minimal editing?
------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Convert your document to text only. Save it with the file extension
"txt". Example: "myfile.txt". Please note, however: this method
won't allow the including of pictures or hyperlinks or background
colors. Your documents are ugly, but at least they are there.
For example, this slide could have been written as a text document.
2. Another shortcut is the use of the <PRE> </PRE> tags. All text
placed between the tags will be displayed in text format, recogniz-
ing carriage returns, tabs, spacing, etc. AND you can include graphics,
hyperlinks, etc. Caution, this tag disables auto line wrapping
within tables.

You can put in your basic headers:
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>Your title</TITLE>
<BODY BGCOLOR ="#FFFFF">
<PRE>Document body here, you can use hyperlinks and graphics
within the tags.</PRE>
</BODY>
</HTML>
