66469 2002-07-29 09:26:00 I am still having problems when I try to convert a Word doc to html format. I have MS Word 97 SR_2 and get told that "Selected text converter is an old version that does not work with the current version of Word. Reinstall the converter and try again".
I have downloaded and installed "Convpack.exe" and "cnvpck16.exe", without any success.

Any suggestions as to which converter is the right one and how to install it?

66470 2002-07-29 09:35:00 I have read your previous posts, and while I note that you have aplied every pack seemingly available, you have never mentioned if you have ever actually installed the original converters, as they are not necessarily installed unless you go looking, when you originally installed MS Office.

Installing packs wont work if the target isnt there.

You can install them at any time however, by going through the setup on the CD.

If they are installed then try uninstalling them, then reinstalling them.

You dont say what you want the html for, but if its a web page, think carefully as in normal mode Word is extremely verbose and splashes your name and details all through the code, which can be viewed by anyone looking at the page.

There are lots of free html engines out there better than word.

66471 2002-07-29 09:38:00 Word 97 produces HTML code that is just bearable.

2000 or 2002 is just not even worth contemplating.

There are much better free programs for creating HTML. Even the M$ script editor is quite good.

Cheers
