Web page content can come from a variety of sources. Clients or colleagues might send material in a Microsoft Word file. If the format of the Word document is fairly simple, you can use the copy-and-paste method to import your text into Dreamweaver. If the Word document has formatting such as bullets or tables, you might want to save the document as a Web page (choose File > Save As Web Page in Word 97 or later) and open the resulting HTML file in Dreamweaver. Word inserts a great number of unnecessary tags, however. You can clean up this code in Dreamweaver in one step. The tags that Dreamweaver removes are required to display the page in Word, but are not needed in HTML or a browser.
Dreamweaver displays a dialog box listing all the changes it made.
