I need to change my documents from RTF to HTML how do i do this

What software do I need to create files that are readable by Windows applications?? really stuck on this one!!

Of course, we could go old school and use the Terminal command-line to convert the following file types to HTML:
text
rtf
rtfd (text+image)
doc
docx
xml
odt (LibreOffice/OpenOffice Writer
webarchive
While in Finder, press shift+command+U. This will open the /Applications/Utility folder. Double click on Terminal to launch it. The assumption (for simplicity) is that the file you want to convert from one of the listed file formats is sitting in your login directory.
Triple-click on the following command to select it. Copy (command+C) it to the clipboard. Click your mouse inside the Terminal app to gain keyboard focus. Paste (command+v) the command below into the Terminal. Backspace over the sample filename and replace it with the compatible filename you want to convert. A new HTML file is written as filename.html. Your original file is unchanged.
/usr/bin/textutil -convert html foo.doc
Back in a Finder window, you can double-click the new filename.html and it will open in Safari. Any images in the source document will be placed in an adjacent folder. The conversion does a reasonable job of text and image placement, but is no substitute for fine-tuning via Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).
I wrote a folder-action that allows one to drag and drop a candidate file on it and produce an HTML file.

  • The circuit of my macbook is dead yet the hard drive is fine.  I need to access a file from the hard drive, how can i do this? is there a cable i can connect to another mac that will let me transfer the file?

    The circuit of my macbook is dead yet the hard drive is fine.  I need to access a file from the hard drive, how can i do this? The mac turns on the screen freezes as bright blue.  Is there a cable i can connect to another mac that will let me transfer the file?

    There is another option if the Macbook will start up in Target Disk Mode.
    Restart the computer while holding down the T key. If you see the firewire symbol moving around on the screen you can connect this one to another one in TDM. You will need a suitable cable to connect the two Macs.

  • I need to extract email addresses from my "Sent" folder, how can I do this?

    I have found a way to export addresses using the "export" option inside the address book-however, I need to extract the addresses from my Sent folder specifically. Is there a way to copy and paste into an Excel file? Or is there a way to do this through Thunderbird?

    Every contact you've sent a message to is automatically added to the Collected Addresses address book. One approach would be to create a new address book, then copy the desired contacts from Collected Addresses to that book by drag and drop, while holding the Ctrl key. Then, export the new address book to a csv (comma separated) file and open it in Excel.
    It's also possible to scan a folder for contacts and have them added to an address book:

  • I can't change my font from the character menu, how do I fix this?

    Basically, the only way I can change my font is through the Type>Font menu up top (and by right clicking), but the list in the character palette and the control bar are empty. I can type in the name of the font I want and it will complete it, but even then it doesn't change anything. It is really inefficient for me to have to scroll through all the fonts every time, especially when I have no idea what font I want (or if the one I want is at the bottom of the list).
    It started doing this just out of the blue a few months ago, before then it was working fine, no idea what set it off. I can't print from Illustrator either, maybe it's part of the same problem (that started earlier).
    My version is CS2. Windows XP. I don't think that my boss is going to upgrade either in the near future. It's a small company, we don't have IT help.
    I've done some searching and have already tried:
    -uninstalling the old Illustrator 9 that was on here
    -deleting the aiprefs file
    -deleting the entire folder it was in
    -deleting all of the Adobefnt*.lst files I could find
    -restarting Illustrator, the computer several times
    I haven't tried reinstalling Illustrator yet. Don't know where the CD is, so it's a last resort.

    Oh dear. It looks like I have made things much, much worse.
    (I did indeed do my deleting with Illustrator closed, and tried moving before deleting)
    I opened it up again and did some work. I tried saving my file (in .ai format, variety of shapes, layers, fonts), when it told me that an unknown error occured, then another message that said something like "Can't finish previewing, not enough memory ID=-108", and then it crashed. Turns out that now it doesn't like fonts at all and it isn't too keen on shapes either.
    Found the CD. Uninstalled CS2, told it to delete my preferences file but keep the computer activated. Killed Adobe reader while I was at it (haven't reinstalled yet). Looked through my program files for any traces it left behind but didn't see anything (under Program Files>Adobe, and Documents and Settings>Application Data>Adobe). Restarted the computer and reinstalled Illustrator (well, I tried repairing first but that didn't do anything). And nothing has changed. Still can't access the fonts, and now I have errors opening/saving files too. There was another, new error, something something 6654 I believe.
    I'm baffled.

  • How can I change a document from booklet to single pages

    How can I change a document from booklet to single pages?

    Very cumbersome.
    How many pages?
    Make a copy first.
    In Acrobat use the Crop tool to crop half the width. (Pages > Crop Pages.)
    For 11x17 to 8.5 x11  crop all even pages 8.5 left, all odd pages 8.5 right.
    Do you have InDesign?
    Create a new document correct to finished page size.
    (Use Import Multi Page script to) Place all pages offset by the proper page amount.
    Export new pdf.

    Hi I need to change itunes country from UK to USA I have US payment details but my billing address is in UK. How can I set this up?

    The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store.  You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.
    E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance." - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE

  • HT1349 i need to put the documents from the mac onto the mac book air

    i need to put the documents from the mac onto the mac book air.  How to I transfer my mac documents and music information to my macBook air?

    You have many options.
    Network the two Macs
    Use a Thunderbolt or FireWire cable and use FireWire Target Disk Mode
    Use Setup Assistant when you first set up a new Mac, or Migration Assistant at any time thereafter
    Use an inexpensive USB flash drive
    Email documents and files to yourself
    Use Dropbox or similar service
    Those are just a few. If you explain further or reply with the model of your "older" Mac and which OS version it is using, more specific information can be provided.

  • Hi there  I need to change language setting from English US into English uk, in a Mac OS X 10.5.8, how can I do that?

    Hi there
    I need to change language setting from English US into English uk, in a Mac OS X 10.5.8, how can I do that?
    Many thanks

    Change your OS X language
    Your Mac is set to display the language for the country in which you bought the computer. For example, if you bought your Mac in the United States, your Mac is set to English. If you bought your Mac in France, your Mac is set to French. But if you prefer to use a different language, you can.
    If you bought your Mac in the U.S. but English isn't your preferred language,
    you can switch the language via drag-and-drop.
    Open System Preferences and click Language & Text.
    Click the Language tab.
    In the Languages pane, drag your preferred language to the top of the list.
    To apply the language throughout your system, restart your Mac or log out and log back in.
    You can also customize various aspects of any application by choosing Preferences from the application menu. For example, to configure settings for the TextEdit application, open it from your Dock or the Applications folder, then from the TextEdit menu, choose Preferences. Other application preferences can be configured in similar fashion.

  • Need to change my main BT email address, but how?

    I'd prefer a reply from an OFFICIAL BT Forum Mod if possible, please.
    I need to change my main BT email address, but how do I go about doing this?
    The address is being used as a spoofed address by spammers and I am getting non-delivery notices from the intended receipients' mail servers. Not the end of the world, but it's a PITA.
    Normally, I'd just dump the address and create a new one, but this is the main address attached to my account, which I cannot just change.
    Advice and/or help (FROM A MOD ONLY) would be appreciated. I've already tried the Contact Us from BT and the Online Chat thing, but both times got idiots from India who had no idea what I was talking about.
    TIA.
    OB
    I'm a Private person; I respect those who respect my Privacy.

    is that not for your MY BT account not your btyahoo email address
    normally you need to conatact the mods for that change 
    contact mods
    can take up to 3 working days for mods to contact you
