I'm not sure this is the correct group, but I'll give it a shot. I copyedit
Word docs for a journal that is now going to make its content available
online. There is a limited budget for what the web host can do when he
receives the files, so I need to get them cleaned up so the Word-specific
markup doesn't mess up the files. For the first online issue, he just pasted
the docs into Wordpad (to get them into rtf) and then into the html editor he
uses, but the final results were not uniform even though the final docs (that
I edited) all had the same font, sizes, etc. Also, the notes didn't function
properly. They don't convert properly from Word, so they aren't anchored,
(which is what I understand the terminology/problem to be). Hence, they
appear as a link in the text of the article but don't jump to the actual note
text at the end of the article. So what I need to know is the following:
Is there a way to create a doc in Word that is "clean," so that it will
convert uniformly (font, font size, formatting as in bold, ital, etc.)?
Is there a way to make the notes "anchor" so that they link properly?
Is there a better/different text editor that will produce rtf files that
will convert easily to html?
Thanks for any help offered.
