Whiplash Technology provides a full range of legacy Microsoft Word document conversion services. We have experience converting Word documents to XML, HTML, WordML, and DocBook.

Common Word Document Structure Problems "Fake" Word Tables: Tables were formatted using the tab key and space key to align data in columns. Applying Word's table features can help with this issue. Inconsistent Paragraph Formatting: Word provides a large selection of paragraph heading and numbering options for creation of complex documents with nested paragraphs. Unfortunately, paragraph styles are used haphazardly, especially when editing existing files. We can help customers apply consistent paragraph styles to their Word documents. Cross References & Links: Many times documents contain references to specific pages ("see chart on page 6") or links to other documents. We can help enable accurate linking to both explicit and implicit references. Headers, Footers, and Footnotes: Formats for these items can vary widely. We can help ensure that headers, footers, and footnotes are converted properly. Contact Whiplash to learn how we can provide successful Word to XML conversions and XML content management projects.
