Need help with an MHT file - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

ShaniFaye · 06-05-2008, 04:52 AM

some one scanned something for me and sent it as a mht file, I've tried opening this thing on 3 computers and it just wont open....Is there someone with experience with these kind of files that could open it and save it as something else I could open?

It looks like GraphicConverter on the Mac can handle this, from what I read. My email is in my profile, if you want to send it to me. Also let me know what format you want (PDF?).

I believe MHT files are archived webpages. It's a microsoft file format, have you tried opening it in Internet Explorer?

Microsofts Word is supposed to be able to open these files.
Here is something "neat" about MHTML I found on Wikipedia.

Quote:

Web browser support

Outside of Internet Explorer, support for this format is variable. The process for saving a web page along with its resources as an MHTML file is not standardized across those browsers that do provide support. Due to this, the same web page saved as an MHTML file using different browsers may render differently on each browser.

Internet Explorer

The .mht format was introduced in 1999 with Internet Explorer 5. Saving in this format allows users to save a web page and its resources as a single MHTML file called a "Web Archive", where all images and linked files will be saved as a single entity. It may, however, be unable to correctly save certain complex web pages, especially those containing scripts.

I've saved things as .mht from a web browser. If you're getting script errors and you're certain their not malicious scripts, you could temporarily lower the security settings of your browser.
