The wording your original application was searching for was placed by the
registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Text
Converters\Export\HTML
however it appears that in later versions, this option has been overridden
by the application itself, so even though the above may be (and probably
is - as here) still present, the text in question is not going to appear in
the saveas dialog.
Modifying the original application, or creating a new one would be the
better way forward.

Hi,
I'm an application developer and I'm currently facing a problem in a
legacy system written during the days of Office 97.
My organisation has migrated from using MS Office 97 to MS Office XP a
couple of years back but none of the users or application developers
back then discover that actually one of the functionality of an
existing system, which is to convert a word document to a web page,
wasn't able to work.
Why?
Because the VB program was written such that it's searching through
the "Save As.." dialog for a string call "HTML Document (*.htm;
*.html)", once found then proceed with the conversion. However, the
versions after Office97 all had their that particular File Format
Description changed to "Web Page (*.htm; *.html), thus, triggered an
error.
I understand the easier way out is to edit that programming code and
re-compile the project but that was not of comfort level at my
management side.
Thus, I'm currently + urgently looking for solution to edit the File
Format Description listbox so that to comply to the legacy system.
Apologies for the lengthy email but I hoped I'd expressed
sufficiently for your understanding and assistance.
regards
.
