I'm looking for a Word to HTML converter. Not interested in Dreamweaver or Save Word doc as HTML. Something better, and that will run on Macs. Found something by a company called Zapadoo (google it) that looks exactly what I'm looking for but it's only for the PC. Yesterday I sat through an Ektron CMS-400 demo and they had a great Word to HTML converter that supposedly ran hundreds of different algorithms for a nearly flawless conversion.

Here's my wishlist:

* Drag and drop Word file(s) and spits out simple html code. Nothing more than <h1 - 6>, <p>, <strong>, <em>, <ul> and <ol> type tags. That way I can easily assign style sheets.

* I don't care about the images.

* I'd love a batch option.

* Although I wouldn't say price is not an issue, I figure the hours we save will make it pay for itself shortly.

Thoughts? Help?

Did you try the (free) Office HTML Filter?

[office.microsoft.com...]

Thanks, but that's a Windows only product. I'm looking for something that would run on the mac.

I don't know what kind of results you'll get but Open Office has a version for Mac.

you could use Open Office to conver MSWord docs to html to get you started. It is open source (free) and will run on Apple machines.

I don't know if its the best option, but it will work until you find a better solution.

for batch conversions go to file > wizards > document converter...

available at openoffice.org

AbiWord supports this as a command line argument - and there is a Mac port of AbiWord. Being command line driven it will lend itself to batch processing naturally.

AND it is free (as in beer and speech)
