Default Converting .Doc's - 08-05-2004 , 02:02 PM






Ok what I am trying to do is find an easy way to convert .Doc's into something
useable by Dreamweaver. Now I know I can just copy and paste them but that
loses the orientation of the page such as certain centering or spacing. I want
to know if anyone knows of a simple way to convert them without losing that.
Much thanks in advance. +Aurochs9+

That's not that easy.

Some options:

- Use Open Office. Open the Word Doc in OO and then SAVE AS html.
- look at HTMLTidy...a command line app/service that supposedly can parse
word docs fairly well
- cut and paste from word to notepad to DW. This cleans out ALL crud, but
also all structural markup.
- look at Word 2003, which supposedly stores it's docs as XML. Use an XSLT
to convert from XML to clean HTML.
- save them as PDFs and let them be.
