Hi All,

Is there a text editor or software that I can use to import already formatted text into a html editor?

      Hi mojo,

      The text is in Word, formatted with tables, images, columns and hyperlinks...etc. I am used to writing using Word. I am trying to incorporate the formatted text with a background template, header and footer and I don't know how to do this.

        Open it in Word and Save As HTML.

          What version of Word? If it creates the HTML full of MS Office tags, there are free cleaners out there (I hear that Word 2007 has a way to output much cleaner HTML than its predecessors).
          MS Word To HTML Converter 3.35 is one that is (or was when I tried it) free.
          I currently use TIDY which is open source and endorsed by w3. That may be a bit more involved than you are looking for.

          Anyway, my point is that I do that too sometimes and want to pass on my experience

          I had to go through a lot of garbage online before I found actual working tools so I understand why you ask the question.
          There is a tremendous amount of search engine spam for WORD TO HTML CONVERTERS.

          Hope this helps

            Hey Sheldon. I am using Word 2007. But I can't be asked to download a word to html converter, and then having to clean up Word tags? Oh no no no. I think will just convert to writing in Dreamweaver.

            Thanks.

    I'm assuming that what you're asking is how to convert the existing formatting into HTML. The only thing that comes to mind right now is Word. It has an option (not sure what version it started in) to save as a web page.

      With any editor html you will loose the quality or the font used.
      Great tip starboy. Dreamweaver it is.

    Dreamweaver will do the job.
    Just pay attention for any particular fonts you used.
    Anyway, you have option to check source code and design view simultaneously.
    So you`ll figure out if everything is as you planned to.
