How's that done? (please provide an example.) And doesn't that require the client to have the same software?

You just put the link to your file, so instead of www.yoursite.com/index.html, you'd have www.yoursite.com/your.pdf. Yes, the user will need to have the software installed. If your PDF is 600k then you're probably looking at something similar file size-wise in HTML so I wouldn't be too worried about being a resource burden. If, as you say, it's going to take a lot of work to convert, then maybe it's best not to.
If it's a high level academic paper, it's more than likely your user base will a) be used to viewing/downloading PDFs online; and have reasonably fast internet connections (and 600k is nothing really).

Okay, thanks for the input. That is pretty much what I have been doing with this file. Using the pdf version, and linking to it with an anchor tag, so I guess I'll keep on doing it that way. Just checking to see if anyone knew of a better way.

Thanks for your time and assistance.

Ms Office documents have a "save as" function that allows you to save as html

If the design is too complex maybe it wont hold it, .... but it might be a nice start for coding it all into css hehe…

Tried it using Ms office 2000 and it was a disaster... Maybe a newer version would do better, but I don't have it, so...

Okay, I'll find a spot to upload it to and let you know... thanks.

There's a utility here that has a 30-day trial which sounds like it might do the job:

RTF to XHTML converter

Another here which is free:

Easy Text to HTML Converter

Hope one of them does the job for you.

And about jlhaslip, have you done this? Did anything helped out?  If you dont have a later version of office, maybe you could download a trial version and do your stuff... You said you were going to post the file somewhere...

Sorry about the delay getting back to you on this issue. I am currently having some computer difficulties and can't access the Internet on my own computer, so I have not been able to upload the file to a server. I will definately let you know when and where the file is located when the computer issue gets resolved.

Thanks to all for helping out so far.

Well i wouldnt dare to say something like that Tyssen (about microsoft), becouse you never know... i mean i dont like lots of things about microsoft software, but after all, where they are at, they have the resources to produce quality stuff, so let us hope (for the sake of us all) that ALL industry gets better and better with each development.

And deadlytedly thanks for the link of the rtf to xhtml converter! sounds very promising, ill give it a look.

9. Integrating One Html File Into Another

   the logo at the very top, before any content. I was wondering if there is any way of doing it with
   an HTML tag (i.e. not PHP or any other scripts) so the header just gets inserted right after the
   opening tag. I'm thinking that possibly it uses the tag, but really I don't have much of
   an idea. Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Peace out /smile.gif' border=....

12. Display Tooltip

    (2)

    Hi, I have a flash menu on the left site of the screen which basically are icons only. The movie is
    very narrow (only 50 pixels wide), so there is not enough room to display text also in there. My
    problem is that I want a tooltip to appear when doing a mouseover over one of these icons. I tried
    using layers, but they seem to dissapear under the flashmovie itself, as well as other flash
    elements on the webpage. Since within the flash movie this can't be done, I am looking for a
    solution whereby a tooltip appears over the flashmovie. Help very appreciated. Kind reg....

13. Play Sound File Without Media Player Showing

    (3)

    Currently I have ICONS (JPGs) on a number of my pages that, when clicked, allow the user to hear a
    specific audio (WMA)file related to the page. The problem is that when the icon is clicked, the
    audio file plays, but it opens (in this case) the Windows Media Player. I am trying to avoid that
    from happening. My workaround is to create a separate, new window (small in size), that opens and
    has the sound file attached to the background of the new window, playing automatically when opened.
    This works... I can also make about 30 of these little windows for each of the 30 s....
