I am looking for someone to dig through 500 articles that are posted in an article repository that I will provide the URL to later and perform the following tasks to add them to a Access MDB file that I will provide. These articles will end up on [[login to view URL]][1]. Please take a look at the library there to see the end result of this effort.
1. Copy and paste the text into a word processing program that will perform spell check or grammar checking (MS Word works nicely).
2. Resolve obvious misspellings and egregious grammar errors. Minor grammar mistakes or colloquial usage is fine.
3. Ensure that the author information is stored in the author table, normalizing various key pieces of information, such as name, URL, title, etc.
4. Enter the article into the database, selecting a category from an existing list that is already in the database.
Several of the fields in 3 and 4 will require a simple text to html conversion. There are many online utilities and freeware utilities to do this. MS Word's "Save As HTML" or similar tools are unacceptable as they bloat the size of the text ludicrously.
5. Ensure that no duplicate articles are entered.
I can usually do one article myself in about 5 minutes, once I get into the groove. I assume that someone far more competent will take less time.
The previous developer has left behind a bunch of macros and tools that make the process very simple.
