I open HTML files with Internet Explorer, save the page as a text file, =
then send that text file to the BookPort. This works well for Bookshare =
books. There is also a "send to BookPort" option in IE. When a page is =
open, press the applications key and arrow down to "send to BookPort" =
and press enter. I haven't tried this myself, so I'm not sure how it =
works, but this might be another way of getting the text of the file on =
the BookPort and not the HTML codes.

I don't think so. (I am hardly a Word expert, though.)

Rob,
I opened the html file with Word and it was in the same format as Book
Port
was reading it. That would seam to confirm your suspicion. I have
several
Book Share files, saved as html files. I opened a few of them with
Word and
got the same results. I opened www.msn.com with Word and did not get
the
html code. Is there any word setting that I can change to make it
suppress
the html code in the cases where it is not doing so? I am using Word
2002,
also called Word XP.
Thanks,
Scott
