  I haven't wrote that! I've just stated some thought about announced MS
Word 2000. My opinion about *current version*of Word (that is 97) is the
same as yours. MS Word 2000 will (at least Microsoft claims that) enable all
Word features in HTML editing too (except versioning and password
protection).

  I also use Visual InterDev 97 (we haven't upgraded to 6.0 because of just
that - messing up with hand written code!). In our company we are
considering Dreamweaver for its quality and cross-browser support yet
someone has to persuade me about its workgroup features and site updates (at
least what's in Front Page 98 would be fine).

  And I do use Word for HTML creation and especially single sourcing - but
with a great support by Doc-To-Help. Of course - as you mentioned - I would
go nuts with word processor other than Word because of all nice features I
use to live with (and can't live without them - Replace, macros, fields
etc).

  For some slides (actually 27 ;-) about single sourcing and current trends
(HTML Help) you are invited to browse my paper I've presented at Technical
Communication and Usability Conference
(<http://www.hermes.si/TechCommConf/index.html>). Here is PowerPoint 97
presentation (123 K, sorry, don't have the page available in English yet):
