Granted, HTML isn't exactly geared toward being printed, but it would only take a few modifications to make it so. (Anybody remember Word Perfect for DOS? It would let you veiw the formatting codes in the document and delete stupid mistakes like the bold tag that reversed the emphasis in your whole document... well HTML can do that too, Word can't) On Sunday January 13, 2002 11:49 am, you wrote: > I hope for the sake of blind people Janina speaks for herself and not the > AFB.
