Hi all,

I need a document converter to do this job. I use this CVitae
program but i have no ms word installed, and at least on my PC,
without the help of genuine word, CVitae is unable to save
under DOC format...But i can still save under html.
Any hints ??

Paperless Printer supports popular Document and Image formats. You can now
print from any Windows application to any of the formats given below.

Document Formats:

PDF: Generate WYSIWYG PDF documents from any Windows application capable of
printing.

HTML: Generate WYSIWYG HTML documents from any Windows application capable
of printing.

DOC: Generate WYSIWYG Microsoft Word documents (DOC) from any Windows
application capable of printing.

Excel: Generate good quality Excel documents from any Windows application

Yes, IT Does show a message with each print, witch makes it 'not freeware'
for some of us. But it does not leave any messages on the resulting document
witch, i think, does count for something.

Nice to know.
Since I wanted to use it for my small company, I've bought a copy.
It realy works nice. I only had one problem:

When printing a big (25+ pages) word document to pdf, it somehow switched
pages 7 and 8. I've tried is wth other big word documents, but then it went
just fine. Makes me somewhat believe it is Billyboy's error, but I'm not
entirely sure.

Save as html, then change the extension to .doc

(At my work we're doing the same thing to create Excel-files,
save data as a html-table, and giving the file a .xls-extension)

Does not work if you have pictures or other external files embedded in the
document. (Stylesheets for example). Else, Word 2003 does seem to adapt the
page with reasonable to good results.

Word versions before office 2000 might be a big problem though.

It works better if you save the file as a single file webarchief, though
there are still differences with the origional. But pictures and stylesheets
are adapted this way

May be it works for exel files ? But, take any html, change
the extension to doc, open it with wordpad, any editor, and
you will see the html source code...unfortunatly ;-) other case,
there wouldn't be some shareware avalaible for that task
(Universal document converter, Neevia, ...)

Html code is text, changing the extension of the file will let
the code as it is, it's not plain vanilla text. But i'm fine with
Paperless, the only problem would be that i have to
rebuild manually the shape of the text, the program wraps
the lines too short.

The actual content of the file isn't changed by altering the extension,
it's more a way to fool Word/Excel.
