You got that right. When HTMLizing "Put the CD in the CD drive" with
Word2K, we got
"Put the CD in the <address>CD drive</address>."

Definitely. If it will take it. Last time I tried the HTMLTidy embedded in
HTML-Kit with Word2K-generated HTML, it died horribly. Maybe you need a
more recent HTMLTidy than is embedded in HTML-Kit.
Or use OpenOffice.org. Both word processor and spreadsheet produce better
HTML than the corresponding MS-office products. Well, they actually
_produce_ html (the MS ones do XML, as the humorous but apposite example
above illustrates).
Anyhow, for the same 5-row by 2-column spreadsheet, OpenOffice produced 50
lines of HTML, and Excel produced 150 lines of XML.
But unfortunately I have no experience with OLE to OpenOffice.
