Hi,

Does anyone know why the Comprehensive Rules are only available as
Word Doc?

Um, because you're looking on the wrong page?

http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=magic/rules/tourneyplayer
(go to www.wizards.com/magic, and this is the bottom-left-most link, More
Rules for Tournament Players)

They aren't. If you do not download them from the front page of
MagicTheGathering.com but from

http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=magic/rules/tourneyplayer

you can choose to download them as .doc, .txt, .rtf and .pdf.

Oh, thanks. But there's always more to want. What about html?

Well, the other versions don't give much more formatting than the text
version, so if you just want to look at it in your web browser, try
<http://www.wizards.com/magic/comprules/MagicCompRules020104.txt>
(at least, my web browser just shows it in the window).

If you really really want an HTML version, you could try Google's
cached-version-as-HTML feature:
<http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:www.wizards.com/magic/comprules/MagicCompRules020104.pdf>

Web browsers don't wrap lines properly, or indeed at all, when viewing
..txt files, which is a big problem for readability.
