Word 2007 to HTML Sesquipedalian Sam <sesquipod[ at ]nowhere.noway> 12/9/2008 3:29:37 PM I want to post an ad on Craigslist, which accepts a limited set of html tags. The exact list that is supported can be found here: http://www.craigslist.org/about/help/html_in_craigslist_postings/details Is there a way that I can create the ad in Word 2007 and then have Word generate the html tags that I can cut and paste into the ad form? I tried saving the document in one of the html formats (File | Save as... | Other formats | ...). It did something, but I don't see the tags.

But note that Word is not the best tool for creating HTML; it generates a lot of "non-standard" markup. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Sesquipedalian Sam" <sesquipod[ at ]nowhere.noway> wrote in message news:i53tj4p9dfdfqbrchhof10fqgd41ufukq5[ at ]4ax.com...

I thought I tried that. Which HTML format should I choose: Single File Web Page (*.mht, *.mhtml) Web Page (*.htm, *.html) Web Page, Filtered (*.htm, *.html) One of them created a whole new folder (directory) with 3 files in it. >But note that Word >is not the best tool for creating HTML; it generates a lot of "non-standard" >markup. That's what I've heard. Is there a simple tool to create simple HTML? My idea of a perfect HTML editor would have 2 modes, something like WordPerfect's reveal codes. In WYSIWYG mode, the screen would show what it would look like on the web page (formatted). There would be a few buttons for bold, italic, lists, colors, etc. In HTML mode, it would show the markup. Thanks.

Re: Word 2007 to HTML "Stefan Blom" <no.spam[ at ]please.xyz> 12/11/2008 3:17:38 PM Well, you can try the "filtered" option; it should clear all Office-specific HTML tags, which might be what you want. Sorry, I don't know any good and simple HTML editor. Maybe someone else does, or you could google for one. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Sesquipedalian Sam" <sesquipod[ at ]nowhere.noway> wrote in message news:e3a2k41jhrbefidng53ds0qp1bn3s3pjml[ at ]4ax.com...
