Hi:
I am using MS Word 2000 in an XP environment. I am trying to use the
Batch Conversion Wizard to create html from about 100 .doc files.
When I run the Wizard, it creates the files, but then creates a folder
for each file. That folder is named sonmething like MyFile_files.htm.
In that folder are two useless files: (for me) filelist.xml and
header.htm.
HOWEVER, although my new .HTM file does not look like it is in that
folder (it is in the parent folder and these MyFile_files.htm are at the
same level)it behaves as if it is in the folder. If I move the desired
..htm file, the folder moves. If I delete the folder, the desired .htm
file disappears, even though it is not shown as being in the folder!
I tried setting the Tools Options General (Web Options button) and
selected NOT to organize the supporting files in a folder. However that
option is not remembered when I run the Batch Conversion Wizard.
Any help on this would be appreciated. I do not want these separate
folders nor do I want the extra files...but once they are not in the
folder, then I can delete them manually.
Thank you,
Barry

HI:
I solved it myself. The option that I mentioned in the original post
(below) is attached only to that .doc file. It is not a global
parameter for the USER. Microsoft does not tell us which options are
for the specific document, and which are general. Nonetheless...
I recorded a macro that simply sets that parameter for the current
file. I then pointed to that macro in the appropriate place of the
Batch Find & Replace (many files) listed in the MS Word MVP site.
I ran it against all the .doc files...changing them so that when they
create a .htm file, the supporting files will be in the same directory.
The Batch Conversion Wizard (.doc to .htm) worked appropriately.
It was a simple matter using windows file explorer to delete the XML
files, and then to delete the approximately 2 kilobyte _header.htm files.
Works fine!

Barry,
Are you saying that the option to not create the files folder
must be set for each individual file/page?
I've been trying unsuccessfully to get my head around your
original question and just cannot duplicate it. Once I set it to
not create the special folder, that's it; it "sticks" from that
point on . And goes back to creating them on the fly when I
check it again.
Or am I misunderstanding something in your post?
Regards,
Pop

I know the story already and have no need for that information.

HI:
I just tried it again, and it seems to work the way I described...
That is, if I use Tools|Options|General|Web Options and ask NOT to have
supporting folders for HTML generation on one file, that option is not
the way I want it for another file that I open.

I'll try some more experiments and come back. Unless you get
success in the meantime <g>.
