Calculators and Tools,Hosting-General Topics

If you want to paste HTML content into your website from a word document, one problem to overcome is the fact that Microsoft Word adds miscellaneous formatting to your HTML that rarely looks good on the website you are pasting it in to. You would be better off if you could remove that formatting, and use the formatting of the website to format your site.

Luckily we have come across a tool that can do that for you – it’s a free, online tool to strip MS Word formatting out of HTML. Here’s how to do it.

  1. Save your Word document as an HTML document on your hard drive. Close it in MS-Word
  2. Open the document in a text editor like Notepad++ and copy the HTML that MS-Word generates to Notepad.
  3. Open a web browser and go to Word Off, the MS Word cleaning tool
  4. Copy and paste the code saved in Notepad++ into the tool and submit it – clean HTML will appear that you can paste into your website. Easy!

This is a great tool that will save you endless time and pain! Well done to its author Tom Dyson!
