Word has been known to put wrong links into HTML for a long time. I've never used it for markup.

Not sure what the deal with IE8 is, the backslashes work for me on three machines using IE8 and others using IE8 have reported that the page loads correctly.

IE is shall we say lacksidasical about syntax. M$ seems to think "\" equals "/". HTML standards require "/". "\" escapes special and non-printing characters. Using M$ and standards in the same document has to be an oxymoron.

But having said all of that, I have now replaced the backslashes with forward slashes. Please tell me it loads correctly !

Yes it works now in Firefox.

Needless to say I will be a lot more careful before uploading another document update. I may actually reformat it all with pure HTML and remove MS Words html bloat and other ideosyncracies.

Tidy picks up most less-than-ideal HTML and tries to correct it, or tells you off if it can't.
