Hi everyone,

I need to translate a Website that consists of lots of html pages. The client has not provided us with these pages, just with the .doc files.

I would prefer to work in TagEditor because there is a lot of formatting and tables everywhere and was wondering if there was any software that allows to extract automatically all the individual html pages from a Website.

Thank you very much in advance!

Best regards,

Noemí

There is other software for the task, but I still find wget the easiest to use even though it is command line.

Acrobat, others May 9, 2006

I noticed you said the client gave you the .doc files. Do you mean that the Web site is made from Word-to-Web, and you have the native docs? Because that sounds like you're home fre... See more
