But my problem now is stil the table:
If you look at the link Natrium the table doesnt look right on my handheld (m515) but looks as it should on POSE, why ist it so?
I send you even the pose

Plelkes, I downloaded your Word document and tried to convert it with iSiloX. One word of caution here: I assume you saved your word document from within MS Word as a "website, filtered" html file. Even though it says filtered, the MS Word generated html file is quite messy. So one reason of your problems could be the messy html code. There are tools available to "clean" this code.

Now, after converting it to html, I converted it with iSiloX using standard settings. Can you tell me where "link Natrium" appears in the document? It would also be helpful if you could show me or tell me how it exactly looks bad on your Palm.

Best regards,
Alex

I found the solution:have to change option/display/layout/enable table layout

No saved as "webpage"

Link natrium is to the end of the doc.

I use Dreamweaver's Clean Up Word HTML feature, but if you don't own Dreamweaver, you may try other products. I checked on google and found this one immediately:

Another, free service, is available here:

And another free program available here:
