NickolasJames8 Posted July 16, 2006 Posted July 16, 2006 Ok, so i'm having a problem, and I'm a little mad at myself because I need help....... I sent in a chapter of My Jump Off to a website, and the webmistress sent me an email back asking for all of the completed chapters. Here's the problem....they have to be in either MS.doc or html format.....I have Word Perfect, so I sent her the first chapter(the one she originally read) in HTML format. Now I can't remember how i did it, and it's been like a week. I'm leaving for Cali tomorrow and I can't send her the other chapters because i don't know how I'm afraid she's gonna give up on me if i don't hurry.....so, here's my question...does anyone know how to resave something in html format???? Otherwise I'm pretty much screwed
adblue Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 I'm unfamiliar with the current WordPerfect, but here are a couple of suggestions. 1.1 Look for an option in the Export or Save As dialog box, to save in Microsoft Word 2003 format, or another MS Word format. 1.2 Before you press Save, make sure that the filename has the .doc extension, instead of the .wpd extension. AND / OR 2.1. Look for an option to save/export as a web page or HTML file, preferably filtered / cleaned up, using the .htm or .html extension. By filtered or cleaned up, I mean an option that removes non-standard features. That should help some.

Howie Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 For most programs you simply click save as... and then at the bottom under the filename it should say "file type" in the menu that comes up look for webpage or hmtl. alternatively, cut and paste the whole thing into a text editor and add: <html> <pre> before your text, and </pre> </html> afterwards. then save as text_name.htm ... .. ... and have a heart-attack when you open it in your favourite browser howie
adblue Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 It's better to have your word processor do most of the work for you, by converting automatically to HTML. However, the template for a text file would be below. 1. Save the file as plain text only. 2. Open it in a text editor, such as NotePad. 3. Replace All & with & 4. Replace All " (double quotes) with " 5. Replace All < with < 6. Replace All > with > 7. Insert at the top of the file: <html> <head> <title>My Story Title and Chapter Number Goes Here</title> </head> <body> <pre> 8. Insert at the end of the file: </pre> </body> </html> 9. For that matter, it's possible to add the proper html tags to the paragraphs <p>...</p> and headings <h3>...</h3> too. There's more to it than that, but by then, you're writing HTML. (Hey, that's a good skill to have, though.) Nick, You're using WordPerfect or some other word processor? Either "Export" or "Save As..." a new version of the file with a new filename and another word processor's format, such as .doc Microsoft Word 2003 (or earlier); -- an .rtf (Rich Text File) format is also a common way to send a file. Or follow my suggestion a few replies back, and Save As or Export to a web page or HTML; preferably filtered, that is, cleaned up of any non-standard features. (Word offers "filtered HTML web page.") Another suggestion: the Word Perfect file may be imported and readable in your editor's word processor, if you can't find another way to send as HTML or Word .doc.

Otherwise I'm pretty much screwed Word Perfect 12 is simple (and simply the best). Open the story or chapter. Click on File. Among the options in that window are: Print and below that Publish to Click on publish and HTML is an option.
LittleBuddhaTW Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 Or you could just use Netscape Composer, which is extremely easy to use (as simple as typing in Word), and creates nice .html files, web pages, etc. That's what I use to convert all of my chapters into HTML, as well as what I use to create and maintain my website. You can get it free from http://www.netscape.com. Xandra Kitee does a fabulous job with logos, but there is also logo design freeware out there that you can use to create your own logos ... not as nice as what Xandra can come up with, but it can do the trick.
