I inherited a site where the HTML pages were done via a conversion
from MS Publisher. Then someone made a 'little tweak' and it stopped
working in any non-IE browser. That's when they turned to me.

Most of the pages had to be completely redone. Result: average size of
page went from 60k to 4k and it worked in all browsers. (Most of their
users are dial-up!)

HTH.
