Frequently Asked Questions - Reporter

1. Q: Why would I use Reporter when the programs I use already allow me to save as HTML?
   A: Except in the case of very simple documents, applications that allow you to save as a web page typically do a very poor job of retaining the original document layout. For example, here's the HTML rendition of our MS-Word sample as created by Office 2000 professional edition, compared with the Reporter version.
   
   
2. Q: What browsers are supported by Reporter?
   A: Reporter works with versions 4 and higher of Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Opera Software's Opera browser, and any other browser that supports the required minimum subset of HTML/CSS. At the time of this writing these browsers comprise roughly 99% of worldwide browser usage. Since Reporter uses only generic, nonproprietary tags, Reporter output will be compatible with all future browsers that support the HTML/CSS standard as defined by the W3C.
   
   
3. Q: What mail clients does it support?
   A: Reporter contains its own built-in mail client so it doesn't need an external mail client to send HTML e-mail, however it can use your Outlook, Outlook Express, or Eudora mail client if available.
   
   
4. Q: What graphic types are supported?
   A: Simple line-art and geometric shapes are stored in the widely supported Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format since this works extremely well for simple, high-contrast images. Photographic images are stored in JPEG format since this works better for high-color images.
   
   
5. Q: How are multi-page documents handled?
   A: Pages can be either concatenated into a single, long, HTML document or rendered into separate HTML pages, in which case Reporter generates Next/Previous links allowing the user to move from page to page.
