We have refreshed the design of Word To HTML…

It has been a few years since we last updated the site design, so we decided to do a refresh. The new site design is now live.

The core features of the site are still the same we just cleaned up the design to make it easier to read. We have introduced a new blue and green colour scheme which should make the options and links more obvious.

 

New format painter feature. Apply existing styles to any text…

We are pleased to launch our new feature. Format painter is an easy way to apply an existing style to any other text in your content.

Also, you can use this feature with keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+Shift+E to copy format and Ctrl+Shift+F to apply format.

Watch the video below to see how it works.

Please note that if you copy a style from headings, then can just click any word in a paragraph of text to apply it to that whole paragraph.

New image editor and resize feature

We are pleased to inform you that we’ve added a new image editor to our default Visual Editor.

Just click on an image and then click the paintbrush icon:

This is what the image editor looks like. Just edit the image and click the Save button.

A second change is an image resize feature on image paste or upload. If you paste or upload an image that is bigger than 800×600 pixels when embedding the image and 1200×800 pixels when uploading the image to our server, then you will see the following resize window:

Basically, you can use the slider to make the image smaller and switch to JPEG format if you upload non-JPEG images (PNG, GIF, WEBP). You can see details about the original vs resized image and a preview of the resized image on the screen. Once you’re OK with the resized image click Insert Resized Image button. If you want to add an original image then click Insert Original Image button.

 

 

New feature: share documents with your team…

You can now share your documents with your team.

To do this click the drop-down arrow to the right of the Save button, then select the share option.

In the new window, you can select the team members that can access the document. You can also choose if they have the ability to overwrite the document, if you keep this unticked they will have to save the document as a new file in their own storage.

Issue with logging in via Facebook…

This morning, without any warning Facebook again decided to turn off our ability to log in users using their Facebook accounts.

We have contacted Facebook to ask them what the issue is.

While we are waiting to get the issue resolved you can login into your account with the email address linked with your Facebook account.

You will likely need to reset your password, to do this visit our password reset page and enter the email address that is linked to your Facebook account.

Any issues doing this please email us [email protected] and we can help you out.

We have made the site easier to use…

As we have added more features to the site, the interface got more complex. We worried that new users would find our app intimidating so we have been working on improving the user interface to make it cleaner and easier to use.

The main changes are:

The HTML Editor options have been moved from below the editor to above. We have made them icons so they match the menu of the visual editor.

The copy to clipboard and Cleanup my HTML buttons are now below the HTML Editor to make them easier to access.

The template and advanced options are hidden by default. Just click the cog icon to the right of the Cleanup my HTML button to show them.

We are keen to get more feature suggestions from users so we have added a system to let you submit your ideas and also vote on other users ideas.

You can view and submit ideas here…

New features: Choose your editor, easier to use email editor and new payment methods…

We have been busy improving Word To HTML to add in new features.

Choose your editor:

you could always choose between our default editor and TinyMCE but the option to switch was a bit hidden in the settings page. We have made this option easier by adding a toggle above the editor:

Updates to email editor:

we have made the email editor easier to use. By using our simple drag and drop interface you can make great looking HTML emails. We have also added a feature where you insert free stock images from Pexels. To insert a free image just click on the add free image option in file manager:

Then just search for the type of image you want, and click on add image to download it.

New payment methods:

as well as paying by card or PayPal we now also support the following payment methods  for our EU customers:

  • Przelewy24 for Poland

New feature: Try our new Visual Email Designer…

create HTML emails visually

We are pleased to launch our new Visual Email Designer! Creating HTML emails is one of the most common uses of our service, but we wanted to make the process easier and quicker.

Our new drag and drop HTML Email Editor lets you visually create your HTML emails. You can start from a blank template or customize one of our many built-in predesigned templates.

All the controls are visual, so it is super easy to use – you drag the section you need from the panel on the left and place it into your email design. You can add new columns, rows, images, videos buttons etc. to your layout and see the changes live.

Once you have the design ready, you can preview how it looks on desktop and mobile with our built-in preview tool. You can also send a test email to yourself to see how it looks in a live email account.

The Email Editor is free for all our Pro users. Give our new Visual Email Designer a try and discover how simple and powerful it is.

Guten Tag and Witaj – Word to HTML is now available in German and Polish…

Word to HTML has users from all over the World so we have decided to translate our service to better accommodate non-English speakers. The first two languages to be supported are German and Polish.

We have used human translators to ensure quality. You can switch language at any time by clicking the language option in the top right of the screen.

 

New feature: You can now easily style your HTML tables…

We have added a settings screen to let you easily style your tables. To use it all you have to do is click anywhere in your table. On the floating menu that comes up click the brush icon.

On the table styling screen, you can control all aspects of the table style like color, font, padding, border and table height and width.
