It shows up all screwy, the spacing and font sizes is all wrong, and the tables are sometimes moved to the end of the document! I'm not trying to use any fancy stuff like JavaScript or ActiveX or anything, just your basic html, with some tables and drop-down menus. When I test it in IE, it looks better, although still not exactly as I envisioned it in Word. What gives?

Word is really not a great option as HTML tool. It can actually get so bad at it that I don't even know why they included the "save as web page" option. The problem is its formatting is defaulted to .doc display, and in html it also inserts all sorts of Word-specific tags and commands that have no place in a web page and cause problems for most browsers. The solution is obvious: Use a different utility to design your pages – if you've got Word, odds are you also have FrontPage somewhere in there, it should to much better.
