Overview

The Office HTML Filter is a tool you can use to remove Office-specific markup tags embedded in Office 2000 documents saved as Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). When you create an HTML document in Office 2000, Office-specific markup tags are embedded in it. These tags help "round-trip" the document for editing purposes. For example, if you create the document in Word 2000 and save it as HTML, the code embedded in the document allows you to re-open the document in Word 2000 and use the same features you originally used to create the page.


Once you have completed editing an HTML document in Word 2000 or Excel 2000, you can use the Office HTML Filter to remove the Office-specific markup tags from the final copy of the HTML document. By removing the tags, you reduce the size of the document, which in turn reduces both the amount of space used on Web servers as well as the time it takes to download the page. For additional information about the benefits and disadvantages of removing the Office-specific markup tags, read Use Office HTML Filter to Create Web Pages that Download Faster.


Note  The Office HTML Filter can process files saved in any single-byte encoding format. The Office HTML Filter support for multi-byte encodings, however, does not cover the following encodings: Unicode, UnicodeFFFE, and utf-7. Note however that utf-8, which is the Unicode encoding most common on the Web, is supported.

New Features of the Office HTML Filter 2.0

  • You have more control over which types of markup tags are removed.
  • You can export a cascading style sheet (.css) file based on a Word 2000 document or an Office HTML file.
  • You can copy any fragment of a Word document as HTML and paste it into an HTML or text editor as filtered HTML markup. For example, instead of typing complex HTML tags to create nested tables, create them by using the Draw Table tool in Word. Then select them and click Copy as HTML on the Edit menu to create a compact HTML copy of the tables.
  • The Office HTML Filter 2.0 is even more efficient at removing redundant HTML markup from an Office HTML file.
