- Merged cells in a Word 6.0 (or higher) document are not handled properly
because MSWord no longer uses the \merge token - instead it simply generates a
new row definition.
- Footnotes within tables can cause invalid HTML generation
- Leading whitespace should be stripped from all list elements, and empty
paragraphs should be ignored in lists.
- Preference files for PowerPC and 68k Macintosh are not interchangeable. If
you are running both versions you must manually re-set and save your options
each time you switch binaries.
- The file select options in the preferences do not recogise alias's to
applications.(Macintosh)
- The error message for Invalid Character Code should tell the user which
translation files need to be updated.
- Can't cancel a translation with command-. once it is
going.(Macintosh)
The workaround is to choose Quit from the File Menu.
- The <BODY> and <HTML> tags are in a different case to their
</body> and <html> tags.
- Copy/Paste-link in MSWord for Mac creates a 'live' link. Within a
document, this generates a hyptetext link. This should also be allowed across
documents.
- Allow TITLE's to be taken from the text of the document (instead of just
the info-block)
- Allow spaces to separate bullets from text within lists.
- process all URL's with encode URL
- Allow setting the Base Ref for a document.
- Generate widths for cells within tables.
- Allow a different nav-panel for the top and bottom of the document.
- Add a few AppleEvents added like ConvertRTFDoc.
