I have a new client who has between 500 and 1000 articles in MS Word format.
He wants to put them on a website.
1 Is there a utility to convert these into a usable HTML format
automatically? Even if I were to hire a data entry person to convert by
hand via MS Word's Save As Web Page feature, I am then only going to want
the BODY of the thing because I want to build the CSS myself. Hmmm--I also
don't know if the articles are full of formatting or not which I may have to
remove. I do know someone who runs a fairly large site with a
constantly-growing database of articles, and he puts new articles on the
site via a secretary who cuts and pastes from MS Word into a private, online
data-entry web page--this is an option but seems somewhat low tech. Any
ideas are appreciated.
2 Is there a pre-fab CMS which would be appropriate for such a site? He
does have the articles broken down into categories and subcategories, so I
suppose it's actually only a matter of a small database, but I don't know if
he plans to update the articles or to add a lot. The client is brand-new to
the internet and doesn't know quite what he wants for this site just yet.
Thanks,
Hershel
