Hi Liam,
I think WestWind1950 was sgoing along the right lines.
You may want to consider using relative links between your pages rather than absolute links. It makes life lot easier while developing a html based site (More complicated when you add active pages.) You can always run a find and replace later to convert to absolute links if you are paranoid about search engine rankings.
A couple of good pages on this:

http://www.webpronews.com/ebusiness/...yperlinks.html (Notice the cunning use of example links promoting this guy's services and acting as search engine fodder!)
I too would say stay clear of word as a html editor if you excuse the pun it is very wordy in the html it generates.
