Progress Form

This progress form opens when you start the conversion. The screenshot above is for the batch converter. In batch mode, a bold caption describing the current action is displayed at the top of the form. DocToHtml counts files converted not one by one, but as they are presented in the conversion list items editor. That is, each folder is counted as one item, regardless of how many files it contains. So the caption only provides a rough estimate and summary information on the current state of the batch process. If you invoke the MS Word add-in from MS Word’s toolbar, the caption will be hidden as unnecessary (because you already known what is going on, it is the conversion of the current document).

Below are the “Input file” and “Output file” labels. They indicate which input and output files are being processed, respectively.

“Elapsed time” is the time spent on processing the current document. (It is not the total time since the conversion started, if you are using the batch converter.)

“Estimated time left” is an estimate of the time until the end of conversion of the current document. (It is not an estimate of the time until the end of the whole batch process, if you are using the batch converter.)

“Overall progress” is an estimate of the conversion progress for the current document. The number an the left of the window caption is the value for the progress bar.

“Current action” shows the progress of the current processing stage, the name of which is displayed just above the progress indicator. The progress relates to the document being processed only. This is the most accurate value.

The status string at the bottom of the form displays the most detailed information on the current processing step.

The “Abort” button is for aborting the process.

The “Minimize to Tray” button, in the bottom-left corner, minimizes the progress form to the system tray, so that you can have one less application on the taskbar.
