I have a MS Word 7 document that I want to put on my Sony. I saved the document as Filtered Web, and imported it into Sigil. When I looked at the code, parts of the code were in different colors. Can anyone tell me what the different colors represent? What of the codes that Word puts in can I safely delete, and what do I need to leave in?

also, my bulleted lists weren't imported cleanly (which I didn't expect they they would). I used the Remove Formatting command in Sigil to remove the formatting so I could use the Unordered Lists command in Sigil to make the list a bulleted list, but it changed the font as well. I'm not sure how to fix this.

I don't know much about HTML/XML or CSS. This is for a class project, and I'm afraid I may have bitten off more than I can easily cope with! so any help is greatly appreciated.
