I'm a newbie and still trying to figure out how to have my users produce content and maintain an standard look. * The problem is that 99.9% of the users in our departments don't know a thing about HTML but want to publish spreadsheets or word documents they produced. Easy so far, they just save their documents as HTML from Word or Excel and forget about it. The problem is that I want to maintain a standard look and feel through headers, footers and CSS but to do so I need to manually edit each file they upload to Zope. Is there a better way? I thought of using frames that would solve the problem with the headers/footers but still don't know how to override the fonts/margins/etc to maintain the same look in each page. Any ideas on a more complete solution? -aem

I have pasted entire HTML docs including <head> and <body> tags inside documents that then get 'wrapped' with my Zope standard_html_header and footer. I can see it all if I view the source in my browser. The first set of tags (from standard_html_header) seem to take precedence. My browser is Netscape 4.6 Linux; your users are probably not Linux-based, and I don't know if this is "standard" browser behaviour. Give it a try.

It won't display properly at least on IE3, probably on older netscape too.
