It will change the text to 'A dog eats a mouse, I like my cat' , only the first cat is changed to dog.

This is a major update, all users are advised to update.

With this version of Word Cleaner we have working hard to make the software easier to use with a more user friendly interface. The main changes are all settings (images, CSS etc) are now at the template level, not the global level.

Version 4.2 - Released 12th Sept 2008

Improved Button in Word feature:
some users had problems getting the button to appear in the MS Word toolbar. To fix any problems we completly recoded the button feature so it will work under most user scenerios. If you had problems converting word files to html from within MS Word with the button in the past you should upgrade or test the free trial version.

Improved command line support:
some users are using Word Cleaner to link into their own systems, either on the desktop or Word Cleaner can be installed on windows servers (not linux). We have beefed up our command line support so there is now more controls and conversion options that can be set from the command line. If you are looking to automate word to html document conversions do check it out.

New CSS Friendly XHTML Template:
by popular demand we have released a new template that will tidy up Doc to XHTML conversions to use standard CSS tags. For example it will properly format all the h1, h2 etc headings so its easy to link into your own style sheet.

Version 4.1.1 - Released 23rd June 2008
Fixed a bug where clicking on the "Preview In Editor" and "Preview in Browser" buttons in the template editor caused the app to give an error message.
