Looking at the source code for the web page that Serif WebPlus Starter Edition produces, all of the HTML about style and the font has been done automatically by the program. The software is available from the following webspace. [http://www.serif.co.uk](http://www.serif.co.uk) At the home page one needs to click on Free Downloads and then choose WebPlus. Registration is necessary, but that is free. William Overington 13 September 2010 --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.high-logic.com/t/are-opentype-and-budget-software-incompatible/2128)._
