Word2Help at glance

Using Word2Help you can publish your documents from Microsoft Word directly into:

  • Macromedia Dreamweaver;
  • Generic HTML pages;
  • Compressed HTML.

As any Web Builder will tell you, an enormous amount of content that is destined for the Web originates in Microsoft Word. The main challenge has always been to convert this content to HTML. With Microsoft Word, users can save their files in HTML format, but the HTML code produced has always been larger than hand-authored HTML code, and much of the code generated is only viewable on the Internet Explorer browser platform and. Most search engines prefer to index pure HTML. In addition, Microsoft Word does not split document into articles and does not create navigation links between parts of document.
