HTML design tools help streamline content development. Users can rely on the familiar, content-development tools of Office to create HTML documents. Users and administrators can depend on a solid technology based on industry standards. HTML documents are displayed more accurately when they are reopened in Office. Content developers get more control of download speed.
Users can edit non-text elements in their HTML documents more efficiently.
Organizations and users can count on seamless backward compatibility when using future versions of Office. With the exceptional HTML support in Office 2000, users can create and modify rich Web documents as easily as working with traditional, binary Office documents. In addition, they can count on Office 2000 to preserve all the rich Office content they create, even if some elements are not directly supported by their browser technology. By supporting both the HTML file format and the Office binary format, Office 2000 makes universal viewing a reality, enabling users to share their Office documents with anyone who has a browser. It also uses round-tripping to give users unprecedented assurance that the rich Office content in their HTML documents will be preserved, regardless of a browser's capabilities.
