   Hi Paul,

   OpenOffice will export directly from a word file to an html file. It
   may not be the best code, but I would be glad to convert it and see
   what we get.

   I already tried it in open office. It kind of worked but I think
   Doug's doc file is corrupt. Lets wait and see what he comes up
   with. Or perhaps try it in Word directly. Anybody on here use Word?

Paul,

I'd be happy to help out with MS Word if I can. I'm no whiz, but I can
give it a shot. Let me know how I can help.

Regards,

Gordon.


OK export Doug's .doc file as an html file into a new folder.
Word will generate a lot of image files in that folder. Send all the
files in that folder to me.

What version of Word are you using?
