A .dot file for WinWord

While using rtftohtml myself I have created a style file for Microsoft Word 6.0 called rtftoweb.dot (I have also a less sophisticated dot-file for Word 2.0 lying around somewhere, mail me (zzhibol@rrzn-user.uni-hannover.de) if you are interested). By using this file as the standard document type for your documents it gets really easy to create RTF-documents which can be translated by rtftohtml without any problems. You make your documents use rtftoweb.dot by following the same procedure as usual when assigning dot-files. In german Word 6.0 this is (sorry, currently there are no english instructions available):

• Menüpunkt "Datei/Dokumentvorlage..." aufrufen
• Unter "Dokumentvorlage/Verbinden..." rtftoweb.dot auswählen und "Formatvorlagen automatisch aktualisieren" anwählen
• Unter "Globale Vorlagen und Add-Ins" ebenfalls rtftoweb.dot auswählen und aktivieren
• Mit "OK" Dialog beenden.

rtftoweb.dot adds all the paragraph styles which are understood by rtftohtml (without modifying html-trans) to your document. Additionally some keyboard shortcuts are now defined (or possibly redefined...):

Ctrl-Shift-1 ... Ctrl-Shift-6

Selects paragraph style "heading 1" ... "heading 6".

Ctrl-Shift -p

Selects paragraph style "pre".

Ctrl-Shift -b

Selects paragraph style "bullet list".

Ctrl-Shift -n

Selects paragraph style "numbered list".

Ctrl-Shift -g

Selects paragraph style "glossary".

Ctrl-Shift -p

Selects paragraph style "pre".

Ctrl-Shift -h

Formats the selected text for plain HTML.

Ctrl-Shift -r

Formats the selected text with the color red (for Cross references).

Ctrl-Shift -i

Formats the selected text to be the destination of a Cross reference.

Ctrl-Shift -u

Formats the selected text to be the "hot text" of a Cross reference.

Ctrl-Shift -a

Formats the selected text to be the anchor of a Cross reference.

Ctrl-Shift -c

Formats the selected text to use font "Courier New".

Ctrl-Shift -t

Formats the selected text to use font "Times New Roman".
