| We have a faculty handbook that is over 30 pages with various different layouts
some with charts others with just text. Has anyone up there found a great
solution for getting information like this up quickly and easy to edit down the
road? Thanks in advance for any help.

| How do you maintain them - Word?
I would suggest converting to PDF for publishing.

| As Les mentions, how is the original data handled.
Ideally, the person responsible is using an Excel or Access or other
database, that you could then use to export static pages, or tie in directly
if using ASP or some other manipulation.

| The format is going to provided in a word document.

| suggest double-checking with them that a Word doc is the original source of
the info. Seems kind of painful to be manually updating 30 pages of
listings in Word several times a year...
If it's just straight ahead text, copy and paste.
Or use Import-->Word if you are using mx 2004/windows.
Hopefully they haven't put multiple columns in that are separated by Tabs or
blank spaces...

| I maintain one handbook as well, but do avoid problems I use PDF.
Although I'm moving to dynamic pages for this piece.
Create a database (access, mysql, etc.) and code a page that accepts
pre-formatted text. Go to
http://www.interactivetools.com/pro...area/index.html and download the
HTMLArea tool.
Then you can query each section of the handbook.

| Since I suspect you use that Word document for print versions as well as
this Web version, I'd think the easiest thing would be to convert the Word
..doc to a PDF and post those. It's quick and easy to convert a new version
after someone makes changes, then upload it and you're done. Remember, PDFs
are searchable.
