I'm attempting to build an office intranet, but have essentially no
experience in launching this sort of thing.  Is there a place where I can
find steps to follow to make this eaiser?  Right now, the only way I can
format the pages to display properly and link correctly is if the document is
saved as an MHTML file, which ultimately won't work.  I'm obviously doing
something wrong.....any suggestions?

How do you want it to work?  Like a newsletter sent to all?  Or, click on an
icon on their computers and a document pops open?  Is the office on a LAN
(local area network)?

We do have a LAN network.  Ideally, I'd like to be able to make updates to
the document without having to send a new link each time I do so.  I'd like
it to operate as much like a normal webpage as possible - meaning I can
update the documents that the intranet is comprised of, save them in their
designated place on our network, and have others in the office see it
function like a normal webpage would.  The only difference would be that with
it being on our servers, it can only be seen within the office.  Can this be
done without an outside server/host?

Here's a very simple example:

All the folks on the network create an icon on their desktop, i.e.,
network/news/News.pdf
The network would be the path to the network hard drive be it a network hard
drive or a hard drive on a computer that is always on.
/News is a folder on the network hard drive. A storage place to make easy
for the author of news.pdf to find where the new.pdf file is located.

Now create the news file using any program that you like; create the new.pdf
file using a pdf converting program.  From then on, just replace the
news.pdf file as wanted.  Or, on the icon path, just make it go to the News
folder and this way viewers would see all the News. pdf files you create.
But the news.pdf file would then need to be named   news 2006 03 15.pdf
which would be the news file for March 15 and your next file could be news
2006 03 22.pdf etc.

Your goal can be made more elaborate if wanted but it could be complicated.
Building a website and storing it on the network hard drive.  Even then, I'd
stay with a single news file name which wouldn't require the readers to look
for something new each time.
