When you save a Word document as a Web page, there is a *lot* of extraneous
HTML included for "roundtripping" back to a Word doc. If you don't intend to
convert the Web page back to Word, then using filtered HTML, though it still
produces a Web page that is a laughingstock in the Web community, is at
least not so full of Word garbage. If you import even a filtered Web page
into FrontPage and "optimize" it, you'll lose even more of this dross (at
the expense of some Wordly formatting).

Could someone tell me the difference between a standard web page and a
filtered web page in Word 2002? When users create standard web pages, often
they load very slowly and/or scrolling is not smooth. When the users save
the same pages as filtered web pages, the problems seem to disappear. We
have the same problem with our Front Page 2002 users, but there is not a
filtered web page option in Front Page. Just trying to understand what the
difference is.
