Word 2 HTML

[Duncan-3]

Could anyone point me in the direction of a reliable program that will
convert a Word Doc to HTML? It is essential that we can interface with
it from CF. Preferably 6.1.

Having done a fair bit of research on this I can recommend Davisor
Offisor (outside of the silly name). It's good in that it also strips
out any binary images etc and turns them into jpegs so you can use them
on the web.

It is a commercial Java based app so you need to have a base
understanding of java/cf working together to get it going but it is very
good.

I have heard of people opening the ms-word document using openOffice and using that to save to HTML.

I did this years ago for Foreign Affairs and Trade.

The tricks was having MS Word installed on the same server as ColdFusion for starters - so it must at least be licensed.

Apart from that a bit of COM manipulation and it is indeed possible. But why?

Peter, surely with your vast experience the answer to 'why' is just bleeding obvious!

Hi Duncan,

I've build a system that uses FlashPaper as the word to pdf conversion engine, however the users are now complaining because the document margins aren't being maintained. And I'm buggered if I can work out why or how to fix it - so I can't vouch for the reliability!

Let me know if you're interested and I can send you a bit more info!

Cheers,

Brett

Thanks all, we are in a situation where we deal with a lot of users
uploading documents, our clients then have to use them.

For some reason the Word Plugin in IE doesnt just straight download
the data, it breaks it up into 30kb packets and then has big time lag
between them (like 600ms from the US).  This is way too slow,
particularly when you think that a word doc has the entire history of
the doc inside it (unwanted and unused info) and averages 1.5Mb on our
systems.

If you have to go through this everytime for 40 users, you are gonna
get pissed.

To top it all off it then hangs when closing the browser window.

Now - we have thought about forcing the download - in pronciple this
would be ok but would require retraining. And its not the best User
experience, so we figure that if we can convert the doc to HTML then
we alleviate the issue (and the unwanted data), if they need to see
the original then they can d/l right?

Some WYSIWYG editors claim to handle cut and paste from Word. See FCKeditor
2.2

I used to force all carriage return as paragraph tags.

IIRC, you should not use the "regular" Word COM object. This is not
threaded properly for a multi-user environment and can cause all sorts
of funky problems. I believe the solution was to install Microsoft
Office Server Extensions.

These word docs come from our clients customers and into our system
through a client branded website, we are an ASP. Its not within the
scope to provide a rich text editor to the users on a public front
end, this is why we get all these word docs.
