I INTENDED to start a new thread. Don't ask me why the forum dropped this as a reply into an old thread. I was browsing it, but I do have enough sense to start a new one, with a new topic. What say we split the blame the between my creeping senescence and the forum software? Anyway, thanks for the reply. Do you live here?

I don't see "Filtered HTML" as an option. In fact, I came across that suggestion (probably yours) in another post. Is this a Windows-specific option (I'm presently booted using OS X) or specific to an older version of Word? Under File -> Save as I've only got Web Page .htm as an option, nothing as Filtered HTML. I must be looking in the wrong place.
