Discussion:
Microsoft HTML-filter 2.1 and Word 2003

After upgrading to Office 2003, Word keep nagging me about disabling
or enabling macros each time I run it because I have the "HTML-filter
2.1" plugin installed (a mactro with a menu item to strip of
Word-codes from HTML-files created in Word). How do I tell Word that
this macro is OK? It has no signature, but is a Microsoft plugin.

If I can't tell Word that it is OK I have to turn off the macro
security, and that is no good alternative at all :-(

Hi Lars-Erik,

The MS Office 2000 HTML Filter add-in's 'File=>Save as Compact HTML, isn't required in Word 2003. That functionallity is built in
under File=>Save As=>Web Page-Filtered. The filtered choice uses the settings in Tools=>Options=>General=>Web Options to determine
how it filters the documents more reliably than the add-in did. (The add-in sometimes needed you to restart Word for the settings to
change, but it wasn't easy to see that, you 'just had to know' <g>.

The standalone MSFilter.exe/MSFilter.DLL from the MS Office 2000 HTML filter (Start=>Programs=>Microsoft Office Tools) will still
work independently for processing Word 2003 'regular' HTML files in batches to 'filtered' HTML files.

For the Add-in.In Tools=>Options=>Security=>Macro Security you can change your settings to Medium, close and restart Word, when it
asks if you want to run that add-in/macro set you could choose to 'trust' items from Microsoft ('this publisher') as one approach.

Problem is Microsoft is not on the list :-)

And when I check the properties for the HTML-filter add on no
manufacturer is shown :-)

So I can't make an exception for it :-(

Will the build in options create as clean HTML as the HTML-filter?
I'd like pure HTML without all unessesary Word or MS tags in it.

Hi Lars=Erik,

The HTML produced from within Word is basically the same with the HTML Filter add-in and the File=>Save As Web Page-Filtered,
especially when compatability is set back to a version 3 or 4 browser.

Save as HTML in Word was intended to be able to create a web page with no knowledge of HTML other than using File=>Save As. It was
not made to replace or compete with its sister product MS Office Frontpage for doing web layout.

The Word files are designed to 'roundtrip' (open again in Word and restore the original .doc content) from Word to browser and back.

The use of the MSFilter.exe tool to post process the Word HTML files will strip out more Word unique XML/HTML content than using any
save

from within the Word program itself.

We use it to make web-versions of documentation made in Word, and it
works great. But all the tags Word leave to be able to reconstruct the
Word document are unnessesary for us (we have the original) and only
add size to the HTML-file. That's why we remove them with HTML-filter.

But if there is an option to remove all "non-essintial" tags in Word
2003 then that will to the trick (I'll just have to test and see).

Hi Lars-Erik,

The *standalone* part of the Office 2000 Filter (MSFilter.exe + MSFilter.dll [there's a command line/batch/scripatble version and
the one with the UI, but both work outside of Word) provides more options for stripping out Word 'unique' tagging content than doing
the save from inside of Word in either 2000 or 2003

What's not clear though is the use of Word to create the documentation and then strip out some of the Word formatting that could
result in the web result no longer appearing as it did when in Word.
