HTML Questions Answered
1.
How do I ensure that the embedded links in my MS Office documents (table of contents,
bookmarks and hyperlinks) are converted into HTML?
You can do this using two different publishing methods. The first is to click the green and orange Click
to Convert button on the toolbar in Microsoft Word, Excel or Powerpoint. The second is to drag and
drop one or multiple files onto the Click to Convert "Batch Publishing" window found by double
clicking the Click to Convert icon on your desktop. Your embedded links will not publish if you click
"File" then "Print" to the Click to Convert printer in your Microsoft Office applications.
2.
Can I use the headings or styles from Microsoft Word to create a table of contents?
Yes. To automatically create navigation in your HTML rendition, first highlight the appropriate text and
choose your heading styles inside Microsoft Word. You can manage how Click to Convert publishes
these headings by clicking on the "Click to Convert" menu item in Microsoft Word then choosing
"Change Office Options". Here you can choose how the HTML navigation tree looks for your
documents on a global level.
3.
How do I link the HTML version of my document to the PDF version?
When Click to Convert creates an HTML rendition of your document, you can automatically choose to
link to an exact PDF rendition of the same document. This can be useful for printing or if your viewers
would like to download the PDF file. Create a link to the PDF file on the HTML navigation toolbar by
ensuring the "Include link to PDF document" option is checked under HTML Options
Output
Navigation options in the Publish Settings window.
4.
Can I edit the HTML output of Click to Convert once I've converted my document?
Yes, you can open the output of Click to Convert in a web editing tool such as Microsoft FrontPage
2000 and Macromedia DreamWeaver to make your changes.
5.
My document is unusually wide or tall (like a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet or a Genealogy
chart) - how can I ensure that it all comes out on the one HTML page?
Most applications let you set the paper size that you print out onto. Note, the paper sizes do vary
from application to application. Since Click to Convert operates like a printer, you can modify how
much is displayed on each HTML page by changing the paper size. Choose between the standard
sizes or create your own custom sized page.
6.
My converted pages appear larger than my original document - why is this?
Many applications display your documents zoomed-in so that you can see them on your computer
screen. This may be smaller than the actual print size. For example, Microsoft Excel often displays its
documents at 88% and Microsoft Word at 75% so you can see your documents on the screen.
However, when these documents are rendered they can appear larger since they are published at
100%.
7.
Can I edit the name of the HTML files to something other than "index.html" during the
publishing process?
Yes. You can change the name and file extension of your published documents during the publishing
process by clicking on HTML Options
Output
Web Page Options. This gives you the flexibility to
ensure that the web pages that Click to Convert produces matches the remainder of your web site or
intranet.
8.
I have several worksheets inside one MS Excel workbook. Will Click to Convert publish
them all or just the active sheet? Will they somehow be joined?
Click to Convert has additional support for Microsoft Excel Workbooks. You can choose whether you
would like to publish the active worksheet or the entire workbook by clicking on the "Click to Convert"
menu item then "Change Office Options" within Microsoft Excel. Click to Convert will extract the
names of the worksheets and link them all with navigation at the bottom of the HTML page (similar to
navigating around your worksheets while inside Excel).
9.
How can I zoom my document so that the HTML fits onto a specific screen size?
Click to Convert has a zoom feature that you will find under HTML Options
Zoom. This feature
allows you to scale your documents to a specified width which allows you to proportionally reduce or
enlarge your pages. Some applications also allow you to adjust the size of your documents in the
native application e.g. Microsoft Excel has a print option where you simply adjust the size of your
document by a percentage (%) - this will allow you to fit more content onto the screen.
