Quickie Page

    I’m trying to give a group of customers a way to design a web page via MS Word that they are already familiar with. I do not want to teach them how to design web pages and I do not want to edit what they send me. I will give them a simple word document template that I can tweak over time, and they can send me what they want me to put up.

    What is the quickest and dirtiest way to get their word page into my website as without having a document extension as part of a file name?

    The file they send me will be doc or docx and that can’t change.

    My initial thought was to open and save the file they send me as an mhtml file and point to that, but that would defeat my purpose of not using the extension (.mhtml) on the end of the URL.

    I need assistance in figuring out how to get this done with in the fewest number of steps.

    Don’t paste content from Microsoft Word into WordPress as the pasted text will also contain Word’s own formatting. Sooner or later, this formatting will stop your pages from being displayed correctly (if at all) in Internet Explorer. If you cannot possibly manage without Word, paste your text into NotePad (or another text editor) first, then copy from NotePad into WordPress.

    Or use Windows LiveWriter.

    esmi,

    Thank you. Unfortunately, The need that won’t change is for me to be able to take their doc or docx file and turn it into something that can be embedded in a new page or new post, without my having to edit anything.

    That’s still my objective and additional assistance is greatly appreciated.
