There are standards for dynamic fonts and style-sheets. Unless Microsoft
wanders from these (quite likely, but I've never looked at the HTML from
Word) then there's no problem. If they *do*, then the non-conforming bits
can be ignored.

Non-free, or just hard to convert? I'm not sure if MS can claim
ownership over their ``extensions'' to HTML or not...
