Word Conversion to HTML creates folders...help

Hi:

I am using MS Word 2000 in an XP environment. I am trying to use the
Batch Conversion Wizard to create html from about 100 .doc files.

When I run the Wizard, it creates the files, but then creates a folder
for each file. That folder is named sonmething like MyFile_files.htm.
In that folder are two useless files: (for me) filelist.xml and
header.htm.

HOWEVER, although my new .HTM file does not look like it is in that
folder (it is in the parent folder and these MyFile_files.htm are at the
same level)it behaves as if it is in the folder. If I move the desired
..htm file, the folder moves. If I delete the folder, the desired .htm
file disappears, even though it is not shown as being in the folder!

I tried setting the Tools Options General (Web Options button) and
selected NOT to organize the supporting files in a folder. However that
option is not remembered when I run the Batch Conversion Wizard.

Any help on this would be appreciated. I do not want these separate
folders nor do I want the extra files...but once they are not in the
folder, then I can delete them manually.

Thank you,

Barry

HI:

I solved it myself. The option that I mentioned in the original post
(below) is attached only to that .doc file. It is not a global
parameter for the USER. Microsoft does not tell us which options are
for the specific document, and which are general. Nonetheless...

I recorded a macro that simply sets that parameter for the current
file. I then pointed to that macro in the appropriate place of the
Batch Find & Replace (many files) listed in the MS Word MVP site.

I ran it against all the .doc files...changing them so that when they
create a .htm file, the supporting files will be in the same directory.

The Batch Conversion Wizard (.doc to .htm) worked appropriately.

It was a simple matter using windows file explorer to delete the XML
files, and then to delete the approximately 2 kilobyte _header.htm files.

Works fine!
