Terry Morse Myrmidon does a very good conversion job on most document types,
although certain applications present challenges. Following a few guidelines when
creating your documents will help make the best looking Web pages and prevent
unwanted "surprises."
Most word processors provide the option to justify text in paragraphs. A justified
paragraph lines up the text along both the left column and right column. Most
newspapers, magazines, and books use justified paragraphs. To force the right edge of
the text to line up, additional space is inserted between words to force the right edges of
the lines to match up. HTML does not support justified paragraphs, and Terry Morse
Myrmidon may not convert justified text well. Therefore, un-justifying all text in a
document is recommended before converting to a Web page.
Terry Morse Myrmidon looks at the layout of a document's printed page to decide how
to build the Web page. It doesn't have the advantage of seeing the original document's
paragraph breaks or column structure to help make its decisions. Instead, it looks at the
white space between objects in the document to guess what layout was intended. If the
white space between objects is very small, Terry Morse Myrmidon may not notice the
separation and mistakenly run objects together. To prevent this, it is best to provide
adequate white space between columns and graphics (1/4-inch is usually enough
spacing).
Kerning and tracking are typographic methods that modify the normal spacing between
characters (the two most common programs that perform kerning and tracking are
QuarkXPress and PageMaker).
