Subject:RE: Outputting to HTML and PDF formats? From:Michael Davidson <Michael -dot- Davidson -at- vcint -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Fri, 16 Mar 2001 16:54:52 +0100
Johanna asked about reformatting Word documents into HTML.
I've converted something like 40 documents this way and have found that
generally it is ok but, depending how complicated the formatting of the
originals are, you will have to go through and tweak them. This isn't so
easy in Word. I've been doing my serious tweaking in Dreamweaver.
You can view the source code in this and tweak accordingly. I've fund that
Word was adding a lot of extra bits that were forcing spaces where I didn't
want them and sometimes changing my numbered/bulleted lists. This can all be
put right in Dreamweaver.
