Let's say you have a file you want to upload in the Microsoft word format. To convert the document to an HTML file, follow these steps.

 In addition, from Microsoft word, you can export the word file as an HTML file.

 Finally, after you click Save As, click Save as File Type and selecting the .html file tag.



 NOTE: at the moment exporting through word does not preserve the image as part of the HTML file, so the image will not show up in Presage. If you would 
 
 like the images to be embedded in your file so they show up in Presage mobile, feel free to email customer support and we will do this for you.

 If you would like to encode and embed the images yourself, follow the tutorial below:
