Re: 'Compacting' HTML into DOC

You don't say which version of Word you're using... but the following seems to work with Word 2003 and 2007. Open the .html file using your browser. Press Ctrl+A to copy everything to the clipboard, then paste it into a new document window in Word. When I save such a file, the resulting images are all saved as part of the document, and are no longer linked externally.

Hi all.

QUESTION: Is there a way to take an HTML file (with images linked in) and roll it into a single .doc file that would still contain all the images?

BACKGROUND: I have a legacy report that is spawned from a server. It come to me as an HTML file (don't ask why) which embeds red light, green light, and other dashboarding images from a static image folder on my computer.

This little dashboard report now needs to be passed around the office *and* commented on while it makes its rounds.

The trick is that if I save the file simply as a .doc the images are broken when the report arrives on other people's computer. At this point, recoding the report so the images are 'centralized' is *not* an option.

Is there a way to 'flatten' or merge the HTML and external images into one .doc file that can be circulated?

PRESENT WORKAROUND: We are circulating a PDF and people are emailing their commentary around. Not ideal.

Thanks, Dluxe
