I have a word doc that i want to display on a web page, but if i just copy and paste i lose all formating (text size, superscripts, bold italic, etc) It has to be free, though. ---

Are you trying to host the document on a site? just host it as a .doc and let people load microsoft word when they click it it will show the typical Save target as or run as… go from there… ORRRRR convert it hahaha ---

> [@ILCisDEAD](#): > > word does a TERRIBLE job converting to html… not suggested Truth. They load the page with a shit ton of styles and code that have nothing to do with the page that you are creating. Your best bet is to just recreate the page using dreamweaver. ---

You can import a .Doc or Excel file into Dreamweaver and preserve formatting. [How-to in CS3](http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/9.0/help.html?content=WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7ce6.html) ---

Why not just do it in frontpage or dreamweaver? The design views are pretty basic. Its like word for html.
