I vaguely remember a thread that discussed converting pdf's, but I cannot find reference to either that or to doc in the manual. Any input would be appreciated. If php cannot do this, then could someone recommend a tool that runs on linux that can do the conversion in batch? I have ~200 files to convert. Thanks. Dotan Cohen Dotan: What kind of documents and how to do want to present them? PHP can generate html code and place any text file within in it -- it's simple a matter of arranging things the way you want it to look. For example, you might want to review: http://www.weberdev.com/get_example-1233.html In fact, you can do that without php by using a shtml and includes. But, more specifically, I need to know more about what documents you have and you what you want to do with them. tedd

Thanks for the example, Tedd. That script would work if I already had the files in HTML format. I have about two hundred .doc files that I have archived over the years. Now that I'm rid of windows I would still like to use them. I figure that the easiest way to still view the documents, and make them available for others in my faculty, would be to publish them on dotancohen.com . However, I'd need to convert them from .doc format to HTML before I can put them on the web. I know that I can just drag it all over to a winbox at the university and convert them one-by-one in Word, but I'd rather not do that to 200 individual files! Dotan Cohen http://gmail-com.com 56
