msw to html version 1.0 © Dan Berrios 1995 INTRODUCTION msw to html© is a simple application written in AppleScript®, Apple Computer's scripting system for the Macintosh, which converts Microsoft Word® 6.0 files to text files with html (hypertext mark-up language) tags. REQUIREMENTS Mac with at least 4 megs of RAM. System 7.0.1 or later AppleScript®, version 1.1 or later, with the following Scripting Additions: choose file, open file (these were most likely installed with your copy of AppleScript®; if not, contact Apple Computers). Microsoft Word®, version 6.0 or later. N.B.: Only version 6.0 of Microsoft Word® is scriptable, not previous releases. Thus, this application will only work if Microsoft Word® 6.0 is installed on your computer. INSTALLATION Copy the msw to html© to your hard disk. Running msw to html© 1. Launch Microsoft Word® 6.0 if it is not currently running. 2. Launch (double-click) msw to html©. 3. A dialog box appears in which you must select a Microsoft Word® 6.0 document to convert to html. 4. Watch as your file is converted. This may take a while; the more paragraphs your document has, the longer the conversion takes. A document with several, large tables may take up to several minutes. 5. After conversion, msw to html© will quit, but Microsoft Word® will remain open. The document will be converted and the new html "text only" document SAVED UNDER THE SAME NAME. (You may wish to save a copy of the Word® file BEFORE RUNNING THE PROGRAM). CONVERSION SPECS The application currently supports the following conversions: 1. "Bold" font to emphasis tag 2. "Bold, underline" font to strong emphasis tag 3. "Courier" font to preformatted text tag 4. Special characters ("&", "<", and ">") to corresponding html entities 5. Microsoft Word® tables to html tables, with the following provisions: N.B.: 1) Merged cells are not allowed and will not format correctly 2) Header cells should have all words in bold to format correctly 3) Captions can appear anywhere above a table but must have the Word® "Caption" style. 6. Word® outline headings ("Heading 1" style, "Heading 2" style, etc.) to html heading tags (H1, H2, etc.). Note that you can apply these headings in Word® in either Outline view or in normal view. 7. Bulleted Lists to unordered list tags. The application recognizes bulleted lists only if lists have the "List Bullet" or "List" style in Word® or if bullets are made to precede each item using the Bullet button on the formatting toolbar. Paragraphs preceded by manually typed bullets will not be recognized as bulleted lists by msw to html©. 8. Numbered Lists to ordered list tags. The application recognizes numbered lists only if lists have the "List Number" style in Word® or if ordered numbers or letters are made to precede each item using the Numbered List button on the formatting toolbar. Paragraphs preceded by manually typed numbers will not be recognized as numbered lists by msw to html©. 9. Word® "Title" style to html title tag. Note that all other font and paragraph styles are currently ignored. Also, all converted text appears in the body of the html document.
