I have an established website. Client has submitted 34 pages of .doc files to be incorporated somehow into the website. Any suggestions? I'm an amateur looking for help.

Thanks,

Convert them to PDF.

Other than than what do YOU mean by "incorporated"?

I understand they want them to be visible as a web page, and I'm thinking that's a whole 'nuther website within itself. PDF would only be available for download, correct?

In that case they will have to be re-written as HTML NOT saved as HTML from word, because Word HTML makes FrontPage HTML look like expert coding.

.doc/.docx files would have to be downloads as well and not every body has MS Word but PDF files are pretty universal.

That's what I was afraid of ...thanks, Chris, appreciate your replies.

Hey OldTbone...
This could be done by using system.IO namespace.
But my suggestion is first copy the doc file to txt file.
Import that namespace to your program, in the declaration part declare some variable as system.IO.streamreader
Eg:"dim oread as system.IO.streamreader"
This is used to read the file.. you can also use "streamwriter" to write to the text file you wanted. delare a string variable. Place the file which you wanted to put in a webpage. Copy that path... place that path in the string variable....
or.... Just copy the below code, i provide:

Filepath = "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Downloads\cv3.txt"
OREAD = File.OpenText(Filepath)
TextBox1.Text = File.ReadAllText(Filepath)
TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text

I have placed the text in that text file in a text box you can also use label but i dint try with it.
I was too asked to display the text in a webpage(textbox)... So sharing the code i used..
Hope this helps you solving your problem..

What if, just for example;

The OP DOES NOT have the website hosted on a Windows system and can therefore CANNOT use the .NET framework to open the files, AFTER converting them to plain text and removing any images or formatting that were applied to the document of course?
