I'm open to suggestions. Am I right in thinking that Dreamweaver and other things of that ilk can let you generate HMTL from Office applications, while allowing a lot more control over the output than Office's native export methods?

The answer to your question, TB, is "it depends." If you send me a file, I'll let you know. Profile addy is good.

Hi Ginger. Got a "user unknown" bounce from your profile addy.

Damn. Now I have to track that down. I sent another e-mail to your profile addy.

Can anyone recommend free web-based platforms for collaborating with people? I am working on group projects with classmates in a distance education program. Blackboard seems a bit clunky and I'm not sure it lets people upload and then collaboratively edit documents, which is my main thought right now for what I want to do. Ideas?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

flea - Campfire was recommended to me here months ago - it's pretty good. [link]

also, google tools - you can create a group and edit documents, chat, etc.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Flea, do you need people to be able to see and edit the document(s) simultaneously?
