different question

Post #153,900 by boxley 5/5/04 4:50:20 PM Reply	different question if these are word docs create an html index that usefully describes the contents and when you click on a title it pulls up the word.doc? Assuming all the users currently have word or couldnt read them anyway I would consider this the fastest way to organize them. Putting them in html means that a user would edit them in word and then put all the winblows crap back into the html when they save. my 2 cents thanx, bill attempting to explain profiling doesn't require one to take a position for or against it any more than attempting to explain gravity requires one to be for or against gravity.

I don't see why they couldn't use some simple markup in Notepad :) Alternatively, of course, if I pursue the Wiki route, they won't use Word at all to edit them. General observation: these are not strictly controlled documents; they're informal technical notes that people write whenever a particularly tricky task is performed, the goal being to prevent unnecessary reinvention of wheels.

I'd go with Boxley's suggestion myself, and I actually do something similar at work (have a very simple web page with pointers to sections of .DOC, .XLS, .PPT, .PDF, etc., documents). Cheers, Scott.
