Subject: Creating Web Page

Carl,
        My first instinct was to write a suggestion for you to attempt.
I then tested that solution and it failed with the html cut and pasted from
an existing webpage not created with Word.
The result for me was that Word included many TABS settings in the final
document.

Word is best not used for such things.
The simpliest solution is to use NotePad.
When saving the file, enclose the file name as well as the html extension in
quotes, EX; mypage.html would be saved as "mypage.html" from within NotePad.
The result will be a functioning html page.
Rather than an improperly created Word page.

Hi Carl,

If you're writing HTML directly in a Word document
you'd need to use File=>Save as and choose a plain txt
format, and you can then name the file with a .HTM
extension.

When you're in the Word document saving as a web page
or exporting to HTML causes a conversion from the Word
document to an HTML based rendering of the same thing,
but the source coe isn't placed in the Word document
'layer'.

In Word 2000 through Word 2003 the source code editor
is the MS Script Editor (an optional install tool)
that is located under Tools=>Macros when it's there.
You can open any Word document in Word 2000 or higher
and bring up the Script/Source Editor to see the underlying
code.

=========
when i type my code and save as html with word 2000, then
open with explorer 6 it shows up with the code same as on
the word file. in other words the tags are showing up. any
suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated.>>
