I just tried the "send to BookPort" option, and it works like a dream!  =
I guess I can stop saving all those HTML files as text.  <Grin>
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to learn yet another new thing =
about this wonderful little gadget.

Hi all, I have sent html files both from the "sent to," menu and also
from the Book Port software.  None of them renders the code in the
final document, but the "Send To" option is definitely faster.

Hi Sarah,
I already sent the html file that I was having trouble with to Book
Port as a text file.  I have a couple hundred Book Share files that I
have saved in html and I was hoping not to have to send each one
separately as a text file because of the amount of time that would
take. Thanks, Scott
