Two Quick Useful Links
If you want to convert a Microsoft Word document into an HTML document that makes sense, follow the suggestions on this tutorial. (I know Microsoft Word lets you do this automatically, but the HTML is produces is at best questionable, and usually horrendous.) The methods in this tutorial are much better, and worth the effort if you are converting a document to be viewable via the web.
Continuing my long rant against bad PowerPoint presentations, check out this post on the Lessig blog, about how a physicist adopted the “Lessig style” and learned how to be a far more effective communicator.

Back in the day when I used Word, I’d run its HTML output through HTML Tidy; there’s a special switch devoted to removing the MS cruft.

Thanks for the Lessig link. I saw him speak at Emory a few years ago and like everyone that has seen him was blown away by the presentation style.
