Script that converts Word to html
Author: Tommy Sundström Posted: 4/20/1999; 9:44:29 AM Topic: Processing Word as Input? Msg #: 5136 (In response to 5114) Prev/Next: 5135 / 5137
Here's an extremely simple script for mac that takes a word file, uses Word 98 to convert it to html, and puts it into a file.To use it, you need
o Word 98. No windows open (specially not the window of the file you want to convert)
o Word 98 glue (this you can do yourself, there is a script in Frontier to produce it).
o A textfile named test.htm in the right location.
Naturally, this script can be made more functional. But see it as a proof of concept, and a chance to test conversion quality and speed.
on action (f) { // takes the path to a Word-file, converts it to html and replaces the content of test.htm with it. local { gick}; with objectModel, Word98 { Word98.launch(); try { open(file[f]); return(save (document[1], saveIn: "Player2:test.htm", as:"html"))} else { msg(tryError)}; return(false)}}; msg(action ("Player2:testdok.doc"))
