There's only one thing I cannot find how-to-do in MS word and that change the

Thanks for all your input. I am not a man to stop trying to teach myself stuff

Someone emailed me to say I couldn't ever get different browsers to display my

to allow SIMPLE minded ppl like myself to make a SIMPLE website containing far

The whole idea of WYSIWYG is to save you having to think.  Fine, if that 
is what you want, then go with it.  For myself, if there is no 
intellectual value in an exercise, then it is pointless.  Each to his own.

While fonts and the like will always be somewhat different from browser 
to browser, plain ol' HTML code displays images _identically_ in all 
browsers. I repeat (for the 3rd time at least): If you're having issues 
with browsers displaying images at different sizes, it's a byproduct of 
your browser settings, _not_ of your Composer/Front Page/Dreamweaver, 
etc. settings.


Somehow, however, I suspect this will fail to compute.

Your site images all look the same in SeaMonkey, Safari and Firefox. All 
of them. On every page I dared to open. Not a single, solitary image 
looked even remotely different in any of the three browsers. NOT A 
SINGLE ONE.


This is not an HTML, CSS, Composer or other design issue. It simply 
isn't. The problem you keep describing is not the problem you're 
experiencing. Honest.


Your browser DISPLAY settings are the problem. My last comment on the 
matter.

Back in the day, MS Word was always listed as a terrible web page 
generator, coming in behind only MS Publisher and MS Excel for the honors 
of worst possible tool. I doubt it has improved. All those MS products 
fill the HTML with bloated proprietary junk so they can restore the

Status of Upcoming Release(s)

2014-08-21 Thread Justin Wood (Callek)

Hey Everyone!

So I wanted to update you on the state of things.

- There will be no 2.28 release, the efforts to do so would only get in 
the way of timing for 2.29 and at this point its easiest to just move 
forward and try to get 2.29 out on time, or close to its initial planned 
date.


- We are working on builds for 2.29b1 *now*. We have Source (tarball 
generation), and Mac OSX working. We have a minor problem with windows, 
(patch ready) and are hoping to have linux wrapped up by monday the latest.


- This release will NOT have any l10n changes since our 2.26.1 release 
(well, it has new english strings, but no translations). This is 
primarily because we wanted to test our overall build process without 
risking l10n issues internally.


- The release is primarily a is our build system working test, and 
less of a is this beta good test, though the latter will still be of a 
big help.


- There will be a 2.29 Beta 2.

- About a week after we ship beta 2, we hope to have a 2.29 final out.

- 2.30 should be able to ship with automated linux64 updates and l10n!

Any questions, reply or see me in irc.m.o/ #seamonkey

Still is.

One of the effects of this is that if you copy content from something 
produced in Word, and paste into anything else that supports HTML 
content, then you get all the useless Microsoft HTML code (including 
unused style and font definitions) in the target document.


This is especially noticeable if somebody copies content from a Word 
document into an email message that has HTML formatting enabled.  I've 
seen one paragraph messages that are nearly 20K.


Microsoft's intent is that you can use Word as web content editor, 
publish to the web, and then be able to copy from the web and edit again 
in Word with no loss of fidelity or content.  It's one of the things 
that works reasonably well in a Microsoft-centric corporate environment 
(including Microsoft servers and users using Internet Explorer -- e.g., 
a corporate Intranet), but is considerably less effective for the 
general public, especially when a lot of the tools used don't have a 
Microsoft logo in the startup splash screen.

Re: Status of Upcoming Release(s)

Roping in the l10n teams on this status of SeaMonkey.

TLDR; for l10n: 2.29 Beta 1 is coming, no l10n signoff.

2.29 Beta 2 is coming therafter which will have new l10n signoffs needed 
(based on current beta branches)


Aurora/Trunk l10n probably still busted, and will be our top priority 
after the 2.29 release and 2.30b1.

Damn!  Never thought of that.  Perhaps that's Microsoft's plot?

For such a successful and smart company they do keep doing incredibly 
dumb stuff.  And it's not like no has ever noticed, eh?

Interviewed by CNN on 21/08/2014 08:30, Daniel told the world:

 Does anyone know how well MS Word might compose an HTML file, or, to put 
 it another way, how clean is a HTML file written in MS Word??

Not very much. It's ridiculously verbose, it doesn't use styles
efficiently, it uses lots of presentational tags and styles, it doesn't
even manage to be consistent in the way it applies all the
presentational crap... and if you save as web page instead of web
page, filtered it manages to be even WORSE, spreading all sorts of
proprietary crap around.

But recent versions at least commit relatively few validation errors.
Making a page generated by Word 2003 validate was a job to be done only
by fully certified masochists.

And, by the way... the other tool mentioned was FrontPage. Which even
Microsoft gave up on -- it was discontinued about eight years ago, and
even back then it was widely considered to produce terrible code.
