text to html conversion

[Jorge]

I have been converting alot of text documents to html.
If I drop the text file into Word or Open it with word
I get:

<span style='mso-fareast-font-family:"MS Mincho"'>

at every paragraph.

I have ways found to work arounds the problem but it would
be nice to elliminate it completely:

1) is to open the text file with something like notepad,
copy, and paste into a blank word document.

2) is open with Word, goto to
Tools/Options/Compatibility/Font Substitution
and Convert Permanently.

3) after converting to html open view source and Replace
tag with nothing


Is there a way to avoid this?

I would also like to use a linked stylesheet for all the
documents. ( but solving the first problem is more
important)

Hi Jorge,

You might try running Office setup from the Control Panel
to modify your installation. Under the general Office tools
kind of stuff there are a couple of entries for
international support. I think if you remove this it might
get rid of MS Mincho...
