Word doc

Posted on Jan 08, 2009 under xn--zqqs84h3is.com | edit
  • 1st page isn't at all like RoboHelp (for which I'm greatful) ... but how does one import a Word doc into 1st page and maintain page breaks? Or does one use RoboHelp to generate the htm files first? :(


  • Guess I use RoboHelp for the conversion, then. It creates a new HTML page for each Word page. (Then I use something that doesn't blow up every 5 minutes to go further.)

    The screen is not a paged medium. If you want "pages" - export to a pdf. If you want real HTML, don't let Word do it*. Export to Ascii text and then do the markup yourself. 1st Page can take a 1st cut at turning an ascii text file into HTML** (basically wrapping it in HTML and adding
    tags) Paragraph tags would be better and you can do a search and replace on
    replacing with

    , then going back and adding a / to close each paragraph. For shorter docs its not too bad.

    * Word (or any word processor) does a hash of writing HTML by writing all kinds of non-standard tags in an attempt to allow documents to go a round-trip between a *.doc to *.html and back again. It is NOT A PRETTY SIGHT.
    **the command is under FileConvert text file -> HTML document
