Using Microsoft Office to convert documents enables you to save your files in an alternative format.
For example, Word 2002 allows you to save your .doc files (the Word versions anyway) to a
variety of formats, including:
HTML (.htm/.html)??”HTML is a great format for your information if it is basically text
and you need only a few formatting options and some embedded images and links. The
resulting HTML document will be smaller than the corresponding .doc file.
Rich Text Format (.rtf)??”Another wonderful minimalist format (owned by Microsoft
but an open standard nonetheless) that preserves some formatting and graphics, but any
scripting or macro usage is lost.
Plain Text (.txt)??”Works if all you need to save is the text of the file. Everything else
is lost.
Word 6.0/95 (.doc)??”An alternative format that may save some of the elements you
want yet make it more accessible to OpenOffice.org. Using this format may not resolve
all of the issues you have with converting those hard-to-change documents, but it just
might do the trick.
The default format for Word 2007 files is .docx??”Office Open XML.
Other Microsoft Office applications offer similar functionality. PowerPoint can convert presentations
to HTML and general image formats such as JPEG and TIFF.
