The "text properties" are not very important I would think ? Howver the layout was certainly lost ina serious way in some cases and is some work that yet had to be done. Pasting in Word is somethins that did not come up in me and is a worthwile tip for "the next time", if ever. I was surprised over it as I know that an applicatuion normally should put the selected contents in several formats in the Windows clipboard when the user says "copy". And I used a pretty advanced HTML editor for the Pasting. I don't know what "rich text" can do here but as the CDROM was pretty disappointing at time I was not suprised over the flaws I encountered.

When the site is allowed again I may for a start begin with the Writings with layout-problems to recopy those via Word.

Another isuue for a proper website version would a version of he paper version where I can can out of several pages to scan them as 1) many images are scanned in at a too low resolution and 2) some parts of the books were no included in the CDROM and have to be OCRed. I do have access to a set of books but promised the owner to keep them intact as you will understand :-)
Also sometimes HPB used Hebrew in the texts and these were are not properly on the CDROM also and need to be searched for and scanned in.

  One comment: as I remarked earlier, some text properties were lost.
  That could be avoided, if you'd copy from CD edition into the 
  clipboard, paste into MS Word and then save in html format.
  Also the title field contained the text "untitled document", while it 
  should contain the name of article. It would make search more easy.

  I hope you shall be able to make these improvements for the next 
  version of online edition. It is not improbable that the problem with 
  TPH could be solved by peaceful means.
