Covert Web Archive single file (*mht) to Word
Hi - I very seldom use Word, so forgive me if I sound ignorant....
I have been saving a page off my company's intranet using save as - Web Archive single file (*mht) I want to condence the files, as some get large. I tried saving one as a Word document, didn't work. Tried cutting and pasting, and finally tried to save in Excel. None are really satifactory, as then I have to format so many columns. How can I take this file and convert to word? |

Hi Carrera,
What version of Word are you using? Were these MHT files one that were originally created in Word? What are the steps you're using to open the file in Word and can you be a bit more specific about what 'didnt work'? ========= "carrera" wrote in message ...

I'm using Word 2003
Were they created in Word originally? I don't know - in the past I would first click "edit in Microsoft word and save that, but I was thinking at the time that was too slow. Now, when I have the MHT file open and click file, there of course is no option to "edit in MS Word" when I save as a MS word doc, it appears as a table in a word document, the columns are unformatted (see below in excel statement), and would take to long to reformat for the volume I'm trying to re-save. When I would edit in MS word, I did not have this problem. When I saved as an excel doc - again, the info was there, but the colums were again unformatted, columns too close, columns to far apart, blank columns, blank rows, etc. If you try saving an internet page as a single file, THEN try to convert to word, you'll see what I mean. I don't want to recreate the wheel by having to go back and resave (edit in MS Word) "Bob Buckland ?:-)" wrote: Hi Carrera, What version of Word are you using?

Hi Carrera,
Word suports .MHT files through File=Open in Word (although it may not do well with all of them). (If the MHT file was created in Word then generally if you look at the file list in Windows Explorer the icon for the file will include the Word 'W' logo as part of the icon (Excel's icon would appear on Excel created MHTs. Whether you reduce the file size a lot by going from MHT to .DOC can depend on what the original content was and Word may display things that are only useful/workable in a browser, oddly in Word (as you noted the formatting doesn't always come through). You can use Word's Batch Conversion Wizard File=New=Templates=On my computer (from the Task Pane) and that will be 'quicker' than using File=Open the Save on an individual basis, but you won't know until later if the document you get is usable in Word or how the formatting 'took'. If the main goal is only to save space you may just want to zip/condense the .MHT files. ========== "carrera" wrote in message ... I'm using Word 2003 Were they created in Word originally?
