Hi Karlos,

The philosophy behind creating web documents from Word
is that a user should not have to learn anything more
than to use File=>Save As Web Page and, if the web host
supports FrontPage server extensions, to save directly
to the website as a single step (the web hosting service/
ISP) can tell you directly or through the listing on
their web site help if they support the server extensions.

For manipulating web pages, creating web sites and
more fully featured uses the MS Office family product
would be MS Office FrontPage
 http://microsoft.com/office/frontpage/prodinfo/default.mspx

Saving a web document from Word preserves all of the content
of the original so that it can be 'roundtripped' (reopened
into Word and reconstituted as a Word .doc file).

If you're using Word 2002 or 2003 then you can choose
File=>Save as Web Page-Filtered to create a 'leaner' page,
more common to those found on personal websites on the
web rather than on a company intranet.  If you go with
this route then be sure to first save the file as a .DOC
format so that you can have a firm base to use for later
updating the filtered version.

Become familiar with the settings in
 Tools=>Options=>General=>[Web Options]
and how they can affect the usability of your web documents.
These days it's probably safe to specify Internet Explorer v5
as a base, but choosing a lower numbered (older) browser
type will give you the 'simplest' web page Word can produce.

Search Word help for   web page
and you'll find quite a bit of useful information.

In Word 2000 and Word 2002 you can also use the
optional install, Word Web Page Wizard from
File=>New=>Templats on my computer to create
a basic web page and choose one of several themes.

Hope that gets you started.

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction
od where to get more information on what the best way to
create web pages in word.

I am devising a course that will show people how to build
web pages by creating a normal word document and then
using something called 'transit'.  this converts the word
document into html pages and apparently saves the images
that were in the document, seperately.  Apparently this is
a much better way than saving word docs as html.

so i just need to find more info and the best way to write
documents before they get converted.  hints tips etc

cheers in advance >>
