<font face='Arial'>I have a number of class documents - Lab worksheets, homework assignments, etc. They are all done originally in Word because I needed hard copy.

To put these on the web I want to convert/import these to XHTML.
What I've tried:
1. Save as .TXT. Make a page template, then cut and paste text into the the document. I don't like that I have to constantly remake tables, unordered lists, ordered lists, etc.
2. Save as .HTM from Word. This saves the work of #1 above, but puts incredible code bloat into the document. I tried a simple one-page thingy yesterday and got more than a page of embedded styles, most of which were unwanted or unnecessary.

I have NOT tried retyping each individual page into my new Dreamweaver MX 2004, but that seems just as tedious...

Is there a better way?????</font id='Arial'>

there is a command in 'Commands' Menu at the top, which gives you an option to clean up "Word HTML", and will get rid of all the non-needed code.

If you're using dmx2004 there is a nice option to import Office documents directly into your htm pages - not sure if its in dmx

Browse to the folder containing your office Files and then drag one onto the htm page - choose "Insert the contents" and dmx2004 will faithfully recreate your word / excel etc file as a webpage - tables and everything

Sharing knowledge saves valuable time!
