importing a word doc into Dreamweaver

[ghostinzman]

What would be the easiest way to import a word document into Dreamweaver and still maintain the formatting and the images in that document?

Save the doc as html, in one of your site folders then open it in DW and use the Clean Up Word HTML option under the commands menu.

Personally I would copy paste all of the text into notepad to remove the Office tags and the reformat everything myself.

thanks Cheech, I went ahead and took your advice about about just copying the stuff into dreamweaver. It seemed to copy okay directly from the word doc, and then I changed some font tags and stuff. Is it important to copy it to notepad first?

I always copy from any office document into notepad first. Try an experiment. Copy all of the text from a .doc into a new html page design view in DW. Now paste the same code into Notepad and then recopy from there into another page in DW & add all of the formating you require. Now look at the 2 sets of code that have been genertated.

You should see why I never paste directly from Word.
