Summary
Increasingly, organizations are using the Web as an inexpensive, multi-platform medium to publish and share documents internally or with business partners. To further this trend, Microsoft added HTML as a companion file format to Office 2000, making creating a Web version of a document as easy as printing. In addition, Office 2000 uses XML and Cascading Style Sheets to preserve a document such that it can take a round trip to HTML and back to its original state, without losing data or formatting. This paper provides an overview of these and other Web-related enhancements in Office 2000, and describes benefits that using HTML as a file format brings to users and organizations.
