Formatting the HTML source code in existing documents The HTML source formatting options that you specify in HTML Format preferences and the SourceFormat.txt file apply only to any subsequent new documents that you create with Dreamweaver. To apply these formatting options to existing HTML documents, use the Apply Source Formatting command. To apply HTML source formatting options to an existing document: 1 Choose File > Open to open an existing HTML file in the Document window. 2 Choose Commands > Apply Source Formatting. Cleaning up Microsoft Word HTML In Dreamweaver, you can open or import documents saved by Microsoft Word as HTML files, then use the Clean Up Word HTML command to remove the extraneous HTML code generated by Word. The code that Dreamweaver removes is primarily used by Word to format and display documents in Word and is not needed to display the HTML file. Retain a copy of your original Word (.doc) file as a backup, because you may not be able to reopen the HTML document in Word once you've applied the Clean Up Word HTML feature. The Clean Up Word HTML command is available for documents saved as HTML files by Word 97 or later. To clean up Word HTML: 1 In Microsoft Word, save your document as an HTML file. 2 Open the HTML document in Dreamweaver using either of the following methods: • Choose File > Import > Import Word HTML and select a file to open. Dreamweaver opens the file and then automatically opens the Clean Up Word HTML dialog box. • Choose File > Open and select a file to open. An HTML Corrections log file is automatically generated if Warn when Fixing or Removing Tags is selected in HTML Rewriting preferences. This is not part of the Clean Up Word HTML feature. Click Continue to exit the dialog box. Then, in Dreamweaver, choose Commands > Clean Up Word HTML. 3 With either of these methods, there may be a slight delay while Dreamweaver attempts to determine which version of Word was used to save the file. If Dreamweaver is unable to determine this, select the correct version using the pop-up menu. 348 Chapter 14
