SNIP No answer but I see the same problem when an MSWORD document is saved to HTML format and later moved to a server. There are commented "if" clauses, sample follows, which apparently are intended to be used by compatible - Microsoft - software running somewhere. <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:DocumentProperties> <o:Author>Ross McNutt</o:Author> <o:Template>Normal</o:Template> </o:CustomDocumentProperties> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:UseWord97LineBreakingRules/> </w:Compatibility> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--> The <o> and <w> tags appear elsewhere in the un-commented body.
