Hi,
I'm wondering if you can possibley offer me some assistance?
I created a website using Microsoft Word 2002 and then saved it as a
(htm., html document) However, as you may be aware Microsoft add extra
non-essential html which makes your document much larger, i.e.
increasing loading time.
I'm wondering if anyone knows a way to get rid of the word html that
is not required? Some of my html documents are 33KB which is bad.
I heard there is a html filter for Word 2000 but it does not work for
2002.
All help would be appreciated.
If you have further questions, please ask - I will reply.
Thanks
Jamie Abbott

Hi Jamie,
You don't need the Office 2000 HTML filter, it's
built into Word 2002. File=>Save As=>Web Page-Filtered.

Hi Bob,
I save it as a filtered html page and then find that when I view the
website in the IE 6 Browser that the page is much smaller and just an
image - I cant click links etc.
It only works great by directly saving as HTML doc.
Thanks
Jamie Abbott
P.S. Do you have any ideas on how to remove personnel data in the docs
as well as oledata.mso and file list files? I understand that they are
not required either?

Hi Jaime,
I'm not sure what would cause a page to be 'smaller'
in view when saving as a filtered web page, or make
the links unusable unless you have graphics overlapping.
Do you have a URL where you have the web page?
The .mso file is part of the roundtrip files you get
when you use File=>Save as Web page (i.e. it's the parts
that a browser can't display but that Word can use to
rebuild a complete .doc file ). You won't see that
in a Filtered HTML file from Word. To be able to retain
all of your original content for further updating you
can save and do your work in .DOC format and save a copy
as web page filtered, including directly to your website
if your web host supports Office or Frontpage server extensions.
The personal data in a filtered HTML page comes from
what you have in Tools=>Options=>User Info. In Word 2002
and 2003 the personal data retained is affected by your
settings in Tools=>Options=>Security, Privacy Options.
The .XML filelist file (that tells Word where to find
the graphics you used on your page) is only removed
when you save as a Filtered web page.
Keep in mind that Word HTML documents feature isn't
designed as a replacement for MS Office Frontpage
but aimed at folks who want to create a web or intranet
version of their .DOC file without the need to learn
any HTML.

Hi Bob,
My webpage is: www.jadesignservices.co.uk
The site is only half done and still needs alot of work.
I would like to ask if you could take a look at it and then offer any
suggestions - it is not filtered.
I have found that on a 56k modem that as it is loading, I cannot click
on the side menu buttons and get the page to connect and load until
the previous page has fully loaded. Loading is also very slow.
I don't know why, maybe you can offer some suggestions.
Let me know what ya think.
Sorry I never replied until now - I was on vacation.
Thanks
Jamie Abbott
P.S. If you wish to see a filtered version - I could set up a test
page for you, just let me know.
P.P.S. You may wish to save the page on your desktop and the open the
html source in notepad for further analysis e.g. to see all user info
is removed.
P.P.S.S. Is there any way to preload images or reuse images for faster
loading times? Also, please note that the Portfolio page is down, I
will fix this soon.
I must thank you for your help. :-)

Jamie,
It's a waste of your time attempting to reduce the bloat created
by Word html.
You'll NEVER accomplish it.
The best thing you could do is cut and paste what you desire from the pages
and into NOTEPAD and then back into a text ONLY html editor.
In most instances the bloat in MS created webpages is a direct result of
cutting and pasting from within Word to another MS software.
Word utilizes VML for graphics by default. The VML option may be turned off
and the bloat will be reduced. It will NEVER be eliminated.
33kb is not excessive a webpage.
Google when spidering a webpage stops at 101kb.
Speed of loading can also be influenced by page design.
