Converting MS Word Content to HTML in Dreamweaver 8


I was just converting a Word document to HTML and stumbled upon a really helpful new feature in Dreamweaver 8. The Dreamweaver 8 New Features and Benefits calls it the “paste special” feature:

Paste special
Spend less time wrestling content from e-mail and Microsoft Word into formats. With new pasting options in Dreamweaver, retain all the source formatting created in Microsoft Word, or just take the text and apply the CSS already attached to the page.

What this text doesn’t mention, and I find especially neat, is that they have built in the functionality that the last few releases of Contribute has: you can simply drag a Word document into a Dreamweaver document and be prompted to how to convert the entire file.
