If you don't want to, or can't use Excel, you can simply copy the text in
your formatted Word document, then paste between PRE tags in your HTML
document. PRE is preformatted and will preserve the formatting exactly as
you have it in Word.

but

enough

> Name / Unit / Rank / Home Address / Occupation

> ALLEN, W.R. London Art. Corp Private Star Stores Organist
> EDWARDS, Owen Griffith &th RWFPrivate Springfield Street Miner
> with slashes
> ALLEN, W.R./ London Art. Corp/ Private/ Star Stores /Organist
> EDWARDS, Owen Griffith /7th RWF/Private /Springfield Street /Miner
> And with extra spaces to try and get an even affect
> ALLEN, W.R. London Art. Corp Private Star Stores
> Organist
> EDWARDS, Owen Griffith 7th RWF Private Springfield Street
Miner

> But the results of all three are scruffy and difficult to read.
