All the PC's have Office 2003 Pro so they dont need the viewer.
The idea behind the .html is so that they view only and can not edit
I would hate to see my job description change over night :)
There will be no images they are all text saved as html.

I find that within our high school most are not compturer literate.
So I need to keep things as simple as possible. They would also be
inclined to add teaching stuff to it when its is designed for
administration stuff.

There are 75 staff so it wouldnt take long for a mess to begin. Also
most staff are word users only so they have no solid knowledge of
excel and the idea of a data view ........

We have another area for staff to add information and Im forever re
organising it ( so I dont trust them )

I will train up the 4 senior managers first and a couple of staff
admins who have an idea of what excel is.

The aim is that every staff memember will at least know where to look
for the policy on .........
They will all know where to find the scholl calendar.........
etc
