I have a number of word formatted files 10 to 20 pages per file<br />
that I need to display on my web site. I have set them up as graphic files<br />
(jpg) because they loose their format when I store them as text or html. As<br />
graphic files, they take up a lot of room and load very slowly. I am looking<br />
for a way around this.<br />
<br />
One possibility ( I think) would be to store them in a zipped file in their<br />
word format and let the viewer Download <!--more--> the files. I have not been able to<br />
find any information on how to do this. There may be other ways to get<br />
around this.<br />
<br />
I could appreciate any information that you might lay on me.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Roger Anderson<!--content-->Letting your viewers Download <!--more--> the files would be very easy to do. Just make sure you've zipped the files and uploaded them to your server. On your website simply display a link for viewers to Download <!--more--> the zip files.<br />

All you need do is, View it as a web page, then right/click the page to show the source code. Copy each page and Paste them in a HTML editor. The format should remain the same.<!--content-->Thanks for your reply, you were close.<br />

I am using office 97, If you save a word document as html and then right click on the saved html folder and open to the html editor it will appear in the editor in the word format. Neat!<br />
It is not 100% correct and does require some editing. I will try office 2000 to see if some of the conversion problems have been corrected. <br />
<br />
Again, thanks, it is good to have you here for us newbees.<br />
