I have been instructed to convert about 60 Word docs, pdfs and excel
spreadsheets to HTML as an additional way users can pull up information on
our Frontpage 2003 website. Could someone give me how-to's on the easiest
(and fastest) waysto get this done on each of the above? I must get this
done by Tuesday. Thank you for your time and help.
 
Zip them and link to them as you would with any other file. Then your
visitors can download them, unzip them and view them.
 
Newer releases of Word and Excel can be used to save documents as HTML but
can and may require more work to clean up afterwords and integrate into the
website navigation. There is no way to save a pdf or convert it to HTML
unless you have the original document that was used to create the pdf.

Why not just convert all of the word and excel documents into pdf's too,
then load all of the pdf's onto your web, and provide links to them? So
long as the user has acrobat or acrobat reader, they'll just load in
your browser as is. No need to convert them to HTML.

For example, here's a link to a pdf on a site I maintain:

<a href="http://usscouts.org/mb/wkbks/mb001.pdf">Camping Merit Badge</a>

It's easy to convert the Word .doc's to HTML. Open up a new page in FP and
drag the word doc from Windows Explorer onto the page. FP will convert the
file to HTML. I don't know about the other formats.

Thanks everyone for your answers. To clarify a little, I do have documents
saved in their original format (docs, pdfs, excel, etc.) but my boss wants an
additional column for HTML formatting. I am doing the best that I can. I do
have most of the original documents as I requested those last week from the
originating departments so obtaining those will not be a problem. As always,
I certainly appreciate the great response and willingness to help.
