Word macro for clean HTML code

[Toxaris]

Hi Hitch,

I will check, but I don't remember anything strange after saving.

Anyway, my way of working is that I have a more or less default stylesheet available with all kind of classes. If I check a text in Word and see some text that will need a certain class in the ePUB, I will create a style in Word and make sure that that text has that style. I don't care about the style itself, it is just for identification. It does not create a stylesheet for you.

Sound as if it's german with an english "past tense" ending ...

It will keep asking you to change styles until you say "NO" (It's a simple loop)

To your crashes: Word has a wide area of options doing things automatically, some of them could cause a crash since they are working in background even if a macro is running. Autoformatting is the worst of all. The macro sets the style to standard, autoformating guesses that it should be something else ...

I wonder if the problems are the same if you save the document to convert into another format (i. e. Word 97)

Using Word 2000, I press alt+f11 and get a window Microsoft Visual Basic. I can find the Normal file, which I assume is Normal.dot. I click on that.

Across the top I am offered File / Edit / View / Insert / Format / Debug / Run / Tools / Add-Ins / Window / Help

None of these seem to offer an "import" option. I thought Insert might do it but all I see there are Userform / Module / Class Module

I have never messed with Visual Basic before!

[Toxaris]

You can try to right-click on the Normal file and see if there is an import there. I cannot check on Word 2000. I can also not vouch that it will work on Word 2000. There were quite some changes in 2003.

The Import-Option is here (see attachment). All pretty much the same in WW98 through WW2003

The you probably missed some fun

Thank you Toxaris. The macro works great for my Kindle books!

Will post a newer version soon. I check for centering now.

Btw, there is an endless loop in "replace_headers". You check for empty headers but do not reset the style to -1 if an empty header is found.

[Toxaris]

That is strange. That code is not changed. Will look at it though.

Edit: the clearformatting removes the header style. So, no issue.

Give it a try

[Toxaris]

Will try this weekend. Can't before that.

First of all, thank you very much for that Macro Word.

This is my first post here, in this forum and I'd like to know if there are other news about. Following your messagges seems to me like a... undesired stop or not? Maybe in another topic?

[Toxaris]

No, not really. There is a small updated version I think, but I haven't translated that yet.

I still use it for each book.

Hi,
It's a good news to know there's a new development!

I'm new in that Macro world (about Visual Basic) and I don't know if it is possibile to save the output of your Html already splitted in chapters. Is it possible to code it? Maybe like an option.

I have other ideas but this one is a little strange...

[Toxaris]

I could, but I won't. I import the whole book into Sigil and I find it easier to work with as a whole. Splitting in chapters is one of my last steps actually.
