MS Word Web page screentips

[Michelle]

I posted this a week or so again, but no one's responded. I thought I'd try
again to see if anyone has a suggestion.

I've been working on creating a webpage using Microsoft Word. I spend at
least an hour adding screentips to my hyperlinks. When I opened it the next
time, the screentips were gone! Does anyone know why they wouldn't have
been saved when everything else was? Every time I try to edit the hyperlink
to add the screentip back in, it shows up UNTIL I quit and open it up the
next time.

Sorry, didn't have a clue the first time around....still don't, but....

Maybe the doc is corrupt?

(hit refresh a few times in Safari, or use a different browser)

What version of Word?

It's a bug.

Word v.X and 2004 (somewhat) correctly generate the link with the
"title" argument, e.g.:

<a href="http://www.mcgimpsey.com/macoffice/" title=MySite>

(under strict HTML, the title property should be in quotes).

However, when reading in the html file, the title property is ignored.

**Please** drop MacBU a line and tell them you want to be able to
round-trip HTML files *accurately* in Word. Choose the Help/Feedback on
Word... menu item.
