Henry,
I tried it out on a complex Teaching timetable I had set in word (one with five days of hour slots along the top, and 26 weeks along the side) and using a Macintosh. Word converted this to HTML very nicely, and included stuff like ..... <snipped for brevity>
I too have tried the IA and found it particularly useful for creating complex tables from almost any document (any doc. that Word can handle anyway). They only ever require minor tweaking, but it is much easier than creating the table from scratch. Also, it is not only Netscape that supports coloured tables. This was introduced by Internet Explorer, although that may only support it on the Windows 95/NT platform (I only use it on NT). Netscape followed suit, adding coloured table support, but have probably supported it on all platforms. I agree about the WIDTH and HEIGHT attributes, they could easily be added, but for what it is targetted at (i.e. those working converting existing Word processed documents), it does produce quite impressive results most of the time. Notepad (or HomeSite maybe if you're using Windows 95, or whatever the Mac equivalent of Notepad is) still beats all comers to the HTML editor crown though, in my humble opinion.
