Word 98 and more!

I just installed Word 98 on my Mac and it's great! Just produced my
first cartoon with it that I just posted, and wow, the best word
processor/text editor the world has ever seen!

However, the "Save as HTML..." command does not work for ascii art.
Specifically, it does not introduce the PRE tag, but the less supported
FONT FACE tag. Moreover, spaces are purged which ruins the drawing.
Unless someone finds a way to adjust the settings of the application,
it's back to the old html editor or handcoding! (Or do it like me, post
in gif format  ;-))

While I am at it, and commenting on

the replacement of > with &gt
the replacement of < with &lt
etc

should we not

replace " with &quot

as well?
