An Easy Option for Converting Word to HTML (from Word to HTML)
Overall: As the world switched to remote meetings and a year in quarantine (2020/2021), I've used this for academic purposes. I'm an instructor at a university and community college. I've always utilized online formats for education and this has really been amped up in recent months. Using a product like this has been really useful to make sure texts and images are clean and clear in use with our learning applications. It's also great to keep font types unique, like titles, subtitles and body text specific to utilize a universal design model for students with various needs. There are several products that do similar things, and I've dabbled in a few of them. While I'd ultimately recommend this item, I'd have to hear the needs of the individual or team first. However, you can use some of the features for free and see if it's right for you. It's about $10+ a month to use more advanced features or work with longer text strings. Pros: This product is very visual, so you don't need to scroll through text or need to understand any level of coding. It uses a drag and drop feature. It works very well with the Microsoft Word's HTML save option, and cleans it up if anything gets funky. There is "Visual Email Designer" and I think this is the item in this product that might sway one to choose this product over other options. The "Visual Email Designer" reminds me a bit of Wix's web design interface or even maybe similar to an application like Illustrator (but not as advanced). You can drag and drop, shrink, expand, crop images, text and video. There is also a TinyMCE so it's not just converting Word to HTML, but you can convert other types of texts too. For small amounts of text and minimal editing, you can use this product for free. Cons: This is a pretty solid product, but it's hard to justify the $10 for me. As I pointed out in the pros, I think there are some convenient features and for people who don't want to fuss and want a clean method, check this out, but know that there are a plethora of similar products like Convertio which is the same cost and offers more conversion types, but doesn't have the same intricate editor. Some offer more features, many offer less, but there are lots of options.
