I'm shopping right now for different ways people like to convert documents. :)
I'm going to be setting up an online reference site over the next few months for my job and will be needing to convert a hefty manual done in Word and another hefty manual done completely in WordPerfect and due to the layout is in complete tables... which will need to be mimic'd in the online material.
Currently when I need to convert a document I just bite the bullet and make a style sheet and a template then convert my doc into a plain text document then clip and paste the text into the template. That's kinda fine for the occational newsletter I do... but I'm not looking forward to doing that with some 600+ pages.
I don't like to use the conversion utility that comes with Word and WordPerfect because I always end up having to go through and hand correct code... (even when I use HTML Tidy... there's always something off... plus because I like to use stylesheets I end up trying/needing to strip out all the font tags anyway... )
So, I'm just wondering if anyone else here has ever played with converting documents and if so how... cause I'm always on the look out for a better way to do something. :)
danke!
