I can ditto the statement about the other <windows code> stuff when you save it as a web page. It will also create a directory of the name html-page-files (or there abouts) It is much easier to export the Word doc to a PDF file and then link to the PDF file although the resulting PDF can get large when you start adding images but if you have Acrobat installed you can minimize the size when you generate the file.

Tried it. Word saves it fine. It's the bits about importing tables, the images/screens being in the correct areas, and the formatting of ordered lists that break most often. And as already mentioned, Word adds in A LOT of other <insert word of choice> code. -----Original Message----- From: discuss-boun...@lopsa.org [mailto:discuss-boun...@lopsa.org] On Behalf Of Shrdlu Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 2010 12:55 PM To: Lopsa Discussion Subject: Re: [lopsa-discuss] How to improve documentation habits (UNCLASSIFIED) Johnson, Jonathon W Mr CTR USA TRADOC USA wrote: > As yet, I've not found a good way to convert the Word stuff yet.

I hope that I'm not stating the obvious, but have you not tried just saving them as web pages, and then going from there? That's usually my method on something like that. Yes, the html is usually pretty ugly, but the bits that save all the useful images off are excellent, and it puts you well on the way to pushing it off to the wiki. -- Social networking site users are not the site's customers.
