save a word document as multiple html files

Question

Hi all,

I want to save a word 2007 document (.docx format, 100+ pages) as multiple html files for our website. The division can be based on the style that is already applied to the document, i.e. the content of each heading 1 is saved into one web page. I know Word 2007 has built-in html conversion feature, but it saves the document as one single html file. Anyone know how to do this? thanks.

Thanks Doug,

I follow your instructions and run the modified VB code. Multiple HTML files are generated and they are named test_n.htm where n=1..19.

Now everything is OK except only one issue. The file test_1.htm corresponds to the title and content of the original document, and the files test_2.htm, test_3.htm ... correspond to chapter 1, 2 ... of the document. In original word document, I can ctrl+click an entry in the content to jump to the corresponding chapter, in test_1.htm however, all links are assigned as file:///D:\Public\test_1.htm. Is there any way to solve this issue? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Rohn007.

But there are still two problems. First, the ordinal index number of each section is incorrectly changed to 1. For example, the section title of original document

"chapter 10 section-title"

is changed to

"chapter 1 section-title'

Second, we still have to convert each divided document into html file. This may be inpractical as there are 20 divided documents.

Before splitting the document, run a macro containing the command

ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText

Replace the following line of code in the article to which you were referred

 ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="test_" & DocNum & ".doc"

with

 ActiveDocument.SaveAs filename:="test_" & DocNum & ".htm", FileFormat:=wdFormatHTML
