What a pain. Converting these reports from Word took a lot more work than I expected. However, in the end it's probably taking a lot less work than the previous reports thanks to our purchase of UpCast. And the fact that Communications will be working through Contribute will only make things that much better.
I had to go through a four-stage process in order to get the reports into an editable format. First I converted the reports to HTML using UpCast. The output was a little weird (unicode format, long lines) so I used Mozilla to save in a more workable format (ISO, numeric entities, formatted code). Once that was done I used HTML-kit to remove inline styles. Finally, I hand-edited the documents to remove all unnecessary styles and weird CSS formatting.
Next week I start on the templates.
