Automatically convert .DOCX to .HTML via Workflow?
- Hello,We have a list of documents and are trying to implement a workflow that does the following:
- Converts "Accepted" DOCX documents to XHTML
- Saves the converted document into a different site's Document list
- Sends an email to the site contact
I tried to create a suitable workflow via SharePoint Designer, but the document conversion action was not available in the select list. Is there a simple way to add this action to the list of workflow actions? If not, would I need to look at a third-party piece of programming in order to handle the automated conversion process?Thanks for taking the time to read this question.

Hi,
With Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, you can create Web pages directly from existing Microsoft Office Word 2007 documents via Convert Document.
For detailed information about document conversions, please refer to the following articles:
