hide formatting text
When saving a word document as a web page (htm), is there a way to modify the
htm code to put in some script to automatically hide formatting text and hidden fields if launched in word? |

It's NOT clear to me what exactly you desire to hide? The Word (aka bloat) formatting in html or the actual html when returning the web page to Word? The sole purpose of Word having a html option was ONLY to provide an transport medium to return html created from Word docs back in to the original Word doc. There are much better tools to use in creating web pages. |

Let me explain it this way, I have a web application that collects
information from the customer. They wanted the ability when generating an output from this app to generate it as a word document. So I save the web form/page, to the server with a .doc extension. So when this is launched by default it opens up ms word. Now, if they have show/hide formatting text enabled, when word opens up the document it displays, hidden text, paragrah breaks, ect, ect. My question is can I control from some script in a web page, asp, java, vbscript, that when this document is opened in word I can control the hidden text.

Display (or nondisplay) of nonprinting characters is set on the individual
user's machine. Although you could control it with a macro, users would not thank you for it (and most users either have security set to disable macros automatically or will not enable them). Users who choose to display nonprinting characters are used to seeing them. If what you are formatting as "hidden" is something you don't want users to see, then you need to come up with some other kind of security. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks, you are correct, I really dont want to accomplish with a macro. The
hidden fields and formatting text is not really a security concern, the users are very basic and get confused really easy. I will advise them that if the formatting text appears to press the paragraph button in word to view the word document with displaying the formatted text. Thanx again "Suzanne S.
