## Importing existing HTML and text files

Freeway can import existing HTML pages, preserving as much of the contents and formatting of the original as possible. However, because Freeway does not work directly in HTML you may need to do further editing and layout work after importing the HTML pages.

Important: Converting and importing existing HTML files is only possible with Freeway 4 Pro. If you are using Freeway 4 Express, you can drag and drop text and images from an existing web site design into your Freeway pages from a browser.

### To import an HTML page into an existing document

- Open the File menu and choose Get HTML....
- Locate the HTML file you wish to import and click the Open button.

Freeway will create a new page in your document, based on the default settings in Document Setup, and import the contents of the HTML file.

### To import a folder of HTML pages into an existing document

- Open the File menu and choose Get HTML....
- Select an HTML file in the folder containing the HTML files you wish to import and click the Import button:

Freeway will create new pages in your document based on the default settings in Document Setup and import the contents of the HTML files.

### To convert an HTML file by drag and drop

- Drag and drop the HTML file you wish to convert onto the Freeway icon in the Finder or Dock.

Freeway will create a new document based on the default settings in Document Setup, and import the contents of the HTML file into HTML items on the page.

### To drag text from another application

- Select the text you wish to import.
- Drag it and drop it onto a Freeway page, to create a new HTML item, or onto an existing item, to insert the text in the item.
