Converting from .doc to .html

Question

Hi,
I am utilizing Word 2003 to type my policies and procedures.
I am then using RoboInfo Publisher to convert them to html files.
However when I do this, all of the formatting, bullet points,
tabs, etc. goes out the window and the documents look the same and
are not usable for my nurses. There must be something that I am not
doing either in WORD or in ROBO that will allow the document to
look the same on both ends. Can anyone lend some assistance with
this.

Answer 1

This all depends on how you have your cascading style sheets
(.css) setup. If, for instance, you have a heading in your word
document formatted as Heading 1 whatever formatting associated with
it in Word (bullet points, font size, font type, color, etc.) will
carry through to Robo unless you apply a certain style sheet to it
after you import it into Robo. Style sheets in Word are typically
visible next to the font type in the standard toolbar. If not
present, they can be located under Format > Styles and
Formatting. You can set up a style sheet that formats Heading 1 (or
whatever you choose to call it) a certain way, Normal a certain
way, etc., apply this style sheet to each of your procedures, and
all of the formatting associated with that style sheet will present
itself. This saves tons of time as well as keeps everything
consistent. I hope this helps.
