  • They are already familiar with Word and its formatting features.
  • Word comes installed on their computer, and they do not want to purchase additional HTML authoring software.
  • They have numerous files in Word format that they want on a website in HTML. Simply exporting them to HTML is the fastest way.

Save AS HTML from wordwith the extension .htmand exporting via code using vbscript

There is a way to direct the html produced from an ASP page to Word document instead of displaying it in standard browser and in order to do that you have to change the content type of the server response. Put the following line on the top of your ASP page: <% Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-word" %> When you access this ASP page from your browser a Word document will be opened inside of the browser and all the content generated by the ASP page will appear in this document....n
