Anyone one with working fingers and an internet habit has probably been weened on Word. Word has been the ‘it’ (and until recently only) writing software product available since before there was Web 2.0 even Web 1.0. Word is like an old friend, and like all old friends, sometimes it’s not so reliable. Take converting a Word document into an HTML document, for example. When you want to post something on the web, Word gives you the pithy option of saving your text as a web page. This, however, often results in coding horror, messy lines of noise, heaps of useless proprietary tags, and all sorts of unnecessary spew. Bloggers probably have experienced this quirk aplenty. Textism has a nice solution for this. It’s aptly titled Word HTML Cleaner. And it does just that. It’s a tool that strips word docs of all the unnecessary noise, so what you get is a clean and fresh web-ready document that is less burly, streamlined, easy to read and ready to go. Word HTML Cleaner works best with basic documents that are not overly sized, ie 50,000 words with lots of graphics. To use, just save your doc as a web page and upload it to Word HTML Cleaner. Documents up to 20 Kb in size are free, everything else requires a subscription.
