Hi,

Can you "Export to..." compact HTML in Word 2003 SP1? There appears to be no
menu option under the file menu where it should be (according to a screenshot
i've seen). Maybe this is only in SP2?

Thanks,

Will O'Hara
 
Hi Will,

The 'export to compact HTML' was an option
listed in Word 2000 when you installed the
MS Office 2000 HTML add-in.

For Word 2002 and Word 2003 use the built in
File=>Save as Web Page,Filtered
choice after
setting your defaults in
Tools=>Options=>General=>[Web Options]

Hi bob,

Thanks for your reply. The reason i asked is beacuse of the site below. I
found it when searching for a solution. I can clearly see the "Export to"
option and "Compact HTML" on the screenshot under the heading "Word 2003 &
Export to Compact HTML" (Near the bottom of the page).

Saving as Filtered HTML is much better than normal word HTML but still
leaves a lot of Word tags. The page above says that Compact HTML strips out
the remainng tags.

Any ideas?
Thanks,

Will
 
Sorry for the double post, i though my second post hadn't worked,
Now i look like a foolish noob....
 
Hi Will,

My guess is that the author of the article upgraded
from Office 2000 to 2003 or has both on the same
machine and the Office 2000 addin (MSFilter.dot)
is still attached through Word's
Tools=>Templates and Addins feature
and that is causing those menu items to show in Word 2003.
Export to Compact HTML is not a built in
feature/command of Word 2003.

The Word 2003 filtered webpage save and the Compact
HTML save are basically the same from inside Word if you turn
the settings in Tools=>Options=>General=>[Web Options]
If you install the Office 2000 HTML Filter v2
you can still use the MSFilter choice in
Start=>Programs=>Microsoft Office Tools to post process
Word produced web documents, but using the export to HTML
add-in probably won't do more than the built in tools.

Word's web document tools were intended to let people create
a web page version of a Word document, without losing any
Word content (i.e. you can convert it back to a .DOC file),
and without need to know more about HTML than how to use
File=>Save as...

It's not intended to compete with MS Office Frontpage or
other HTML editors for 'lean' HTML.
