in reply to Re: conversion from doc to html
in thread conversion from doc to html

1) MS Word's conversion to .html has been and still is badly borked (TTBOMK - I haven't checked the latest version), with enormous bloating to add non-standard MS tags. Don't use it, unless you don't care.

2) Why not learn a little HTML -- an hour or so with a decent tut (w3schools comes to mind) -- and you can do the conversion yourself... by saving as text and adding the necessary tags. Generally, unless the Word .doc is extraordinarily complex, that's a quick and painless operation.

    Some old version of htmltidy had a handy word-2000 option:

    word-2000

    Type: Boolean
    Default: no
    Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0

    This option specifies if Tidy should go to great pains to strip out all the surplus stuff Microsoft Word 2000 inserts when you save Word documents as "Web pages". Doesn’t handle embedded images or VML. You should consider using Word’s "Save As: Web Page, Filtered".

    I've used it some years ago, with sufficient (but not very pretty) results.
