Word->HTML w/o XML markup?
Using Word XP on Windows XP.
Is there a way to get .html markup from a Word file without all of the XML language? I like the way doc-html worked in Office 97. When Office 2000 came out, they changed things and now what could be simple HTML output is cluttered with tons of XML. Is there a way to save a file w/o the XML markup? |

No. It's time to buy the right tool for the job. I suggest FrontPage. If you do make the transition, before you copy and paste from you work that exists in Word, paste into Notepad first to clear all formatting. Then copy from Notepad to FrontPage. |

I have both FrontPage and Dreamweaver, and use it frequently.
However, when we have a Word document that needs to be converted to HTML, then we must first convert it to HTML before we can use either of those tools (FrontPage or DW) to adjust the HTML, right? If I'm missing something there, though, please let me know. Thanks. Barbara Chuck Davis wrote: "Barbara White" wrote: Using Word XP on Windows XP.

Thanks so much for that information. I'll try it (though I seem to
remember that the HTML Cleaner didn't work when I used it the last time. I was using it on Word/Windows 2000, so maybe using it on Word/Windows XP will make a difference). Thank you... lostinspace wrote: ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barbara White" Newsgroups: microsoft.public.word.docmanagement Sent: Friday, January 21, 2005 10:16 AM Subject: Word-HTML w/o XML markup?

A beginning is to turn off both VML, PNG and XML in the Word Web Options. Then use the HTML Cleaner. Here's a URL which provides some other info as well: http://allmyfaqs.com/faq.pl?HTML_produced_by_Word |

As Chuck previously advised; " 1) copy and paste into Notepad first to clear all formatting. 2)Then copy from Notepad to FrontPage. (or DW)." These steps remove ALL formatting of ANY type. You then use either FP or DW to establish new formatting. |

I think I'd rather deal with Word's "Save as HTML" and then fiddle around with the XML than to do this. (I often have to convert 500-600-page reports with fairly detailed formatting, equations, graphics, etc. I've been using Word to convert to HTML for several years (and Word 97 was the BEST) but the recent versions just add too much garbage to the output. (I usually convert from Word to HTML and then clean it up with a plain text editor or with DW.) Thanks for your suggestions, but I couldn't really do a clear/formatting sort of thing for these projects... |
