HTML to Framemaker--automated method?

[Charles Beck]

Hi Jon,

Yes. Quadralay makes (made) a utility called WebWorks Publisher Import
Utility that allows you to import from HTML files into Frame (or Word)
files. Works very nicely and it *does* do batch imports. You can select
any number of HTML files to import into a single Frame file. Well, maybe
not *any* number of files, but I don't know what the limitation is, if
there is one. I can't imagine that you really want to import all 1300
HTML files into a single Frame file anyway-DO you? 

FWIW, this import utility also handles graphics and tables, though the
tables generally need some cleaning up and possible reformatting after
the import. I use Rick Quatro's TableCleaner utility for that part of
the process. 

Quadralay does not exactly make it *easy* to find and download this
utility anymore, so if you have trouble finding it, contact me offlist
and I will be happy to help you find and download a copy. I can also
maybe give you a few tips about using it effectively, if that might be
helpful. 

As far as I know, this is the only utility out there to do this kind of
job. The nice thing is that, the last I checked, I *think* the utility
is freeware. If I'm wrong, I'm sure somebody will correct me. 

HTH,
Chuck Beck

Everyone,

I have about 1300 (yes, 1300) text-only (no graphics, maybe no tables
either but I'm not sure) HTML files that I need to combine into a single
document in Frame 7.2 (windows). With so many files, I either need an
automated method for converting them one at a time or some kind of batch
method for converting them all at once. Does anyone know of a method for
converting a large number of files from HTML to a single FM
document?.......Jon _______________________________________________
