A is for Apple ....
After a gruelling day of trying to change a Human Resources form into a document on the Intranet, I wonder why no-one ever puts forethough into the fact that a form designed in Word really looks like a printed page, and a form for the web is a continuous one. Am I the only one who suffers from people's lack of thought in the office, whereby a form looks terrible, and I cringe to put my name in the Author section of the page?

Set it up as a pdf, offer an HTML alternative and forget about it. Having worked with HR many times in the past you will never get them to admit they aren't right.

Heh, thanks for your comments - I did originally set it up as a PDF, however offered an alternate HTML version.
