I edit and layout a monthly newsletter (about 25 articles, averages 125 pages
PDFed). I also create a version of it for the web site--a searchable html
archive. I use ReWorx 2003 Professional to convert the Word files.
When we started creating the website 18 months ago, all the charts pasted in
from Excel were fine all the way through the process. As more and more staff
members moved to Word 2003, though, one of two problems started showing up
during the html conversion process:
* Text inside the chart frequently looks smeared or doubled. It's just one
set of text in the chart: the legend or the axis labels, but not both. I've
tried Pasting Special in every format listed, but they all do this--well, all
that produce a result that is anywhere in the vicinity of acceptable.
* Odd strings of x's, s's, underlines and 4-digit numbers follow the chart
if the original author hadn't disabled canvases, or if I ever
right-click>Edit Picture (which inexplicably turns the canvas on, even though
I have "Use canvas" unclicked). If I save the file in Word's .htm, I can see
the code that starts this:
[if !vml]><img width=588 height=362 src="Doc1_files/image001.png"
v:shapes="_x0000_s1028 _x0000_s1027... _x0000_s1098">
I'm assuming that ReWorx is choking on it, although it only starts most of
the way through that at 075 in the resulting file--not this opening tag or
the first few dozen sets. I can edit those out of the individual files that
ReWorx generates, but that's editing the code wrapped around dozens of
charts, dozens of files--and clearly, shouldn't be necessary!
It's only one or the other, and I usually opt for the smeared/doubled text,
but as we increase our emphasis on the on-line version over the print
version, I want the html version to look as good as the PDF version does. But
I don't want to fire up Dreamweaver to tweak dozens of files....
Any thoughts?
