Peter, I'd suggest they use one of the free pdf creation tools to print their documents to pdfs. Word (especially earlier than 2007) creates horrible web pages. I think WordPerfect does as well but I really haven't looked at Works in years (and then only on my father-in-law's computer.)
Cheryl D Wise MS MVP FrontPage http://by-expression.com http://starttoweb.com Foundations of Microsoft Expression Web: The Basics and Beyond -----Original Message----- From: Peter) My own parish uploads its weekly newsletter using the letter saved as a web page in MS Word and then uploads using an FTP program. Now the others in the same deanery want to do similar are asking if they can use MSWORKS and WORDPERFECT to do the same thing. Anyone out there able to tell me if these two packs can save a document as a web page? I've never used either of them. We found originally that saving the newsletters as Word documents and then uploading resulted in a very scruffy looking newsletter online - alignment was all over the place and sections that were columnar went completely haywire - but the webpage version seems fine. It's adequate at least for something with a seven-day life. Before responding please take into account that the people preparing these newseltters are volunteers and usually have only a very basic computer knowledge - even less than mine - so no complicated ideas such as "save it as this and convert it to that and add a bit of magic ingredient"!!!! There is also no financial ability to pay someone to do it for them or buy any software and even downloading and installing software frightens the life out of most of them - they just use the PC as it cam out of the box! (I'm donating my services for free on this one - that's how skint they are!) ____ The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: [email protected] To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk ________________ http://www.wdvl.com _______________________ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
