please help it's driving me mad

[Guest]

I am trying to set up some pages for an intranet site, I have a number of
manuals that I want to put on the dite for colleagues to use, I know I can
hyperlink to them & they will open in Word, however I would rather be able to
look at them within the site itself. I have tried saving the docs as html
(at least i think I have) I had options in word for web pages but when they
open in frontpage they are all over the place. Some of the Word documents
are 60 pages. Please help I have to try & get this done in the next couple
of days and am getting nowhere fast.

thanks

That sounds like a good use for PDFs to me. They'll open in the browser
window and will look the same for everybody. If you need a program to
convert the files to PDFs, this is a good, reliable *free* one:

Microsoft .doc files can be viewed by IE and do not need to be saved as
HTML. There are a couple of techniques. One requires a downloadable viewer
and the other requires Word to be installed on the machine to allow the .doc
files to be displayed within IE.

search: mime type microsoft word

P.S.: You probably know this, but just in case, the Adobe Acrobat Reader
(required to view PDFs) comes installed with almost all new computers now;
it's ubiquitous enough that many people feel you don't need the old "you can
download Adobe Acrobat Reader" notice any longer. I just specify that
they're PDFs next to the link on the web page, so that people are warned,
like this: July Meeting Minutes (PDF) (or whatever).

If you'd feel better about it, you could include a sentence stating, "To
view PDFs, you will need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed. It can be
downloaded for free here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html ".

Hi
If you wish to turn word documents into html you have to use tables in the
original word document,then when you turn the doc into html the tables are
retained and the text is held in place.

by using tables does that mean I will have boxes everywhere?

 

[Murray]

No. But that would really depend on your skill at building tables.

You will be sorry you have allowed yourself to be distracted by poor advice.

I don't think adding tables to a bunch of 60-page Word documents is really
the solution he needs, though.

I'm not a betting person, but if I were, I'd bet against this! 8)
