Abstract:

In 2000, the Hitachi Technical Information Department carried out a large-scale documentation project requiring the revision of 47 English manuals (about 15,000 pages) and production of the manuals in both paper and HTML formats. Many projects of this size would normally use more complex software and file formats, such as FrameMaker and SGML. However, most of the English manuals were already in Microsoft Word (hence forth 'Word') format, and we decided to use Word 2000 to convert the manual document files into HTML files directly. The presentation discusses solutions to problems encountered in this HTML conversion project.
