Word documents of more than one page are multi-page documents. With SVGmaker you can create a multi-page document as a single SVG file, or create one SVG file per page. The best approach to use can depend on what you are trying to achieve and on the equipment your audience will use to view the document. If you store your document as a single SVG or SVGZ file you'll be able to easily move it, copy it, email it or post it on a server because you'll only be dealing with one file. For the pagination to work your document will require a JavaScript enabled viewing agent. Sample multi-page SVG output (requires JavaScript) [140 Kb] If your document gets so large that it takes a long time to load in the browser, or if you want your document to be accessible to non-JavaScript enabled viewing agents, print it one page at a time instead and use SVGmaker to create a two frame browser display of your document. The page index of your document will be in the left frame (HTML), and each page (SVG) will be displayed in the right frame. Sample 1 file per page SVG output [average ~30 Kb per slide] By default, the HTML index will refer to each page of your document as something like "Page n". Customize the index for your document by editing the HTML index file. In general, Word documents of up to 40 or so pages perform acceptably as single file documents on average computers today. You will notice a longer load time as your document grows. |
