But, it does not handle htnl that well. I converted all my word 
documents to html and had to forever clean up the aftermath. Of course 
the conversion was not as bad as converting prowrite to wp5.1 to word 
entailed. I use Mozilla as an html editor and Explorer and mozilla both 
render them with similar results. Mozilla in Windows and Mozilla in 
Linux render the documents equally.
I do think the filename extension should be what the file format 
actually is. But to each their own style. Probably sending the document 
as html would be acceptable practice for a future employer to screen.
