For weeks, our church has been posting message outlines on our site to go along with the message. While this is helpful to the visitors to our site, it is a difficult process to convert from word to html. A copy & paste will simply not do the job. Word documents have too much junk attached inside them.
Using this site’s formula, we’re now able to convert any .doc better. Here’s the steps we’re using now(all from the link):
One way to convert a final version of a Word document to HTML is to send it to a Gmail account as an attachment. With this method, you can maintain your file format as .doc. (I’ve not tried this tip with Word 2007 .docx file format.)
To have Gmail convert a Word doc to HTML,
1. Open your favorite email program
2. Attach your Word document (the .doc file format) to the email.
3. Send the email to your Gmail account.
4. Open the Gmail item with the attachment.
5. Click the link at the bottom that says “View as HTML”. The document will open in your browser.
6. Right-click in your web browser and select “View Page Source” or “View Source”
7. Copy and paste the contents into a HTML editor or Notepad. Don’t paste it back into Microsoft Word.
8. Scroll toward the top of your file and look for the code Google adds to download your file. You should remove this link.
<div style=”background:#ffffcc;padding:4 8;border-bottom:thin solid #eeeeee;font-family:Arial,sans-serif”><a href=”/mail/?attid=0.1&disp=attd&view=att&th=1192fa6dbxxxxxxx”>Download the original attachment</a></div></div><div style=”margin:1ex”>
9. Make any changes in your editor.
10. Save your file with the .htm or .html extension.
