Welcome to YAWC Pro
YAWC Pro is a plug-in for Microsoft Word (97, 2000, XP and 2003) that enables you convert Word documents into HTML or XML. Best of all, it is now free, although we no longer provide active support for it.
- You can download YAWC Pro from this website.
- Alternatively, if you want a solution which does not require installing any software on your own PCs, you should consider YAWC Online, our Word to HTML conversion service. YAWC Online provides one-click web publishing from within Word. It can also generate other formats such as NITF XML, Daisy XHTML, SCORM-conformant elearning, DocBook, and other XML vocabularies.
Word to HTML Conversion
YAWC Pro generates HTML which is much cleaner and smaller than that generated by MS-Word itself. It also places the content of the Word document into a pre-defined HTML template, so that the output HTML is ready for immediate publication on a website. YAWC Pro avoids the need for post-conversion clean-up of HTML documents, and avoids the need for most content creators to have anything but the most basic knowledge of HTML.
The HTML generated by YAWC Pro also complies with a number of important Web standards:
- HTML 4.01 Strict DTD – for maximum browser compatibility;
- WAI Level 1 Guidelines - to ensure accessibility for people with disabilities;
- Dublin Core Metadata Element Set (DCMES) – for specification of metadata to improve search and retrieval.
