Microsoft madness

Question

We recently had to replace our telephone system after it got
zapped by
lightning, and I had to re-enter the speed dial settings.
While I was at it I
added some more numbers, and when I printed out the clue
sheet I had to use a
smaller font. A copy normally hangs at the back of my desk,
but with the
smaller type it is now too far away to read, so I thought I
would convert it
into a web page I could call up on my computer.
I know everyone says you should never use Microsoft Word's
option to convert to
HTML, but I thought on this occasion it wouldn't matter. The
sheet is a table
with six columns and 52 lines. Microsoft converted this into
a 138kb file with
2275 lines, most of which are total gibberish. No wonder all
their products are
so slow!
And, even worse, the result is unattractive, and not very
readable.

It could make sense when you consider that a) None of the
HTML that any
office product writes is ever intended for the web, and b)
most (all?) of
the additional code is inserted purely for Office
interoperability.
