As I'm importing courses from WebCT into Blackboard, I am having to convert all of the HTML pages into HTML Objects so that course builders can edit the page content.  

The process is:

1. I find an HTML file in the Content Collection for the imported course
2. I select Create HTML Object
3, I give it the same file name and tell it to overwrite any existing files
4. From WebCT, I view the source of that file and paste it into the new HTML Object content box
5. I save it and it replaces the HTML File.

I need to do this for all HTML files in all of our courses.  Is there a faster way to have all HTML files all replaced by Reusable Objects?  It seems like this could be automated.

I know that the HTML files can be edited using a program like Dreamweaver, but I want to keep course builders in Blackboard instead of having to use other programs. 

Thanks,

Aaron
