How about just converting the word doc into HTML?

Thanks before ...

I did your idea ... but I want to minimise folder batch.
I see it to give the Web Admin Data Entry work simply to upload that word doc on the Web.

Regard's

How about using Dreamweaver to convert it?

And also how about rich text format?

Code: Select all

à¡±á                >  þÿ	               +          -      þÿÿÿ    *   ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ
In case you didn't know, MS Word documents are stored in a binary format, making it virtually impossible for them to be read in anything other than word it's self or scripts that use COM to retrieve data... of which I wouldn't dare try myself in fear that my head would explode.

I'd give up the thought if I were you... stick to saving them as HTML files.

Sir out
