convert microsoft word to html

[kings]

hi
please do tell me how to convert a microsoft word to html document.
In my appln the user will browse the microsoft word document,when a registered user tries to view the application loaded by the users of the website...it should display in html format....

In word do:
File -> Save as.. -> Type name and select webpage (*.htm,*.html) in the extension menu.

This is the only way to convert .doc to .html. Microsoft is very protective about there fileformats.
(well you could get a morgage and buy the microsoft SDK..)

I strongly advise you to NOT use Word as a tool to create web pages. The Microsoft HTML conversion utility generates horrible code.

Kings,

I asked a similar question in this forum before I saw your post. I've been doing some additional research since I posted and found a PHP script that is suppose to convert word docs to HTML automatically with the help of free program called "wvWare".

The script is located here: http://instruform.com/wordconv.phps

wvWare is located here: http://wvware.sourceforge.net/

Now I don't have any idea if these will work, but will be looking into them further for my own purposes. I hope this helps.

Good luck!

Me too facing the same problem if any one finds solution then let me inform.The problem is about writing whole php code to convert a MS Word document to HTML format which i am using to upload resume.

I've tried to use ConvertDoc to convert word and pdf resumes to html code. Unfortunately, it doesn't get invoked from PHP. The shell takes the command fine, my php safe mode is off, and I have all permission to the System user on the executable. My code is below; I don't see any problem with it.

<?php
      $command='convertdoc /S resume_sd.doc /T resume_new.html /M2 /C2 /F9';
      echo $command;
      echo exec($command);
?>

Is there a remedy for this?

This sounds like a particularly horrible thing to try and achieve. You probably need to use COM. I bet the various versions of Word will also throw a spanner in the works. If such a script exists, I reckon it'll be a commercial thing.

As for the wvware - it's C++ I think.

It looks like this Zend facility has the ability to convert .doc to .pdf. That way, you could display it as a PDF:

Thanks, Chris, but I wanted to store HTML code in a database
