My advise would be to save the word docs as HTML, then make sure the clean
the HTML with dreamweaver (theres an option in dreamweaver to do this),
otherwise the HTML produced (but word at least) is a bit of a nightmare.
Then the HTML you're left with should be more or less workable with, and i
think the same might be possible with excel docs also, but i've never done
that

Good morning, all
Here is my problem. We have a number of Word and Excel documents that are
currently available on our company Intranet. We have just rolled out the
Intranet, so it is only available at HQ. We are slowly beginning to give
our branches access, but our branch employees generally have thin clients
with IE installed, but no Word or Excel. Therefore, we need to create a
custom tag that takes Word/Excel files and coverts them to HTML.
My first thought is to use the Object models in Word and Excel to do a
simple Save As HTML.
Has anyone done anything like this? Is this a practical solution? I would
think that I would use VBScript to do this. Does anyone have any comments,
war stories, references or resources on this?
I am posting this through email, since our Internet access has been shut
down due to the virus, so if this has been covered ad nauseum, I apologize.
Thanks!
