[Solved] Convert Word docs to HTML Using API

[ghayyurh]

Hi All,

I am looking for help to convert word docs to HTML using Open Office API. Please advise which packages (namespaces) should I use from Open Office to convert word docs to HTML in my code? I can find these packages in MS word API, but can't find in Open Office. Please help?

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply.

Here is my use case.

I want to upload the word doc in my application, and want to see it in the browser in HTML format. I will really appreciate if you can help me with the code on how to take in word doc and convert it to HTML in the browser. I am using C# .NET for my development. Please help!

Thanks in advance.

This is totally unrelated to OpenOffice.
OpenOffice is the reference application for the Open Document Format.

Here is the Basic code to export the current OO Writer document as HTML

Code: Select all

    REM  *****  BASIC  *****
   
    
Sub SaveDocAsHTML

DIM sURL as string
Dim args2(1) As New com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue

oDoc = ThisComponent
args2(0).Name = "InteractionHandler"
args2(0).Value = ""
args2(1).Name = "FilterName"
args2(1).Value = "HTML (StarWriter)"   '"HTML" REM One of the HTML export filters
REM Use the correct file extension
sURL = "file:///c:/Users/Owner/test_file.html"
oDoc.storeToURL(sURL,args2())
End Sub

I've never used C#.NET so I can't say how to translate this to your application. Generally the API calls are the same, but declaring the variables and setting up the array will probably need to be changed.
