BETA: Convert .DOC to WritingML!

Our first attempt to offer document conversion using RTF files ("RTF File Conversion [BETA]" ) worked ok, but had some rather large bugs. Prompted by some discussion of document conversion in "Beta Tests: Comments" , here is our first Word .DOC converter.

Just upload a Word .DOC file and the system will give it back to you with the formating in WritingML.

It's a very "empty" page and this is still a very early test. I would like to hear about the results members get with the converter and hope some of you will give it a test run. We'd like to see how accurate it is and how the WritingML output compares to the "real thing" in Word.

If you'd like to give feedback on how well the converter does, please post in "Beta Tests: Comments"  or reply to this blog posting. If there's something in particular you'd like me to take a look at, remember to include the File ID# that the converter gives you.



Thanks!
