Not if the whole thing has to be uploaded to a web server via http......
Doing a "Save as html" saves the images in a seperate directory, if your
users are techneanderthals like mine then asking them to zip the files up
and ftp them to the server isn't an option. Plus the converstion that Word
does has all sorts of silly xml layout code and stuff in it that only works
in like two browsers.... Whoever redesigned the html convertor in Word 2000
needs to be strung up IMO...
