I'm using Word 2003 and am saving Word files as Single File Web Pages using
the *.mht file format on my hard drive. To publish these files to the Web, I
use these steps:

File, Save As Web Page; click My Network Places, and browse to the desired
directory on the server, and click Save. In the browser, the hyperlinks
still reference my hard drive. See the Home and Rates hyperlinks at
http://caot.lacc.cc.ca.us/Unit23/Report_117-102.mht. I normally use
FrontPage to publish files and FrontPage automatically resolves these
issues, but FrontPage doesn't publish these mht files and that's the file
type I need.

I found the information below about setting a hyperlink base, but it didn't
help either. All comments greatly appreciated.

     Set a hyperlink base
     Show All
     Hide All
     Use this procedure when you want to set a hyperlink base (hyperlink
base: When a relative link is based on a path you specify (the first part of
the path that is shared by the file containing the hyperlink and the
destination file), that path is the hyperlink base.) for all the hyperlinks
(hyperlink: Colored and underlined text or a graphic that you click to go to
a file, a location in a file, a Web page on the World Wide Web, or a Web
page on an intranet. Hyperlinks can also go to newsgroups and to Gopher,
Telnet, and FTP sites.) or URLs (Uniform Resource Locator (URL): An address
that specifies a protocol (such as HTTP or FTP) and a location of an object,
document, World Wide Web page, or other destination on the Internet or an
intranet, for example: http://www.microsoft.com/.) in a document- for
example, when you are creating a document for your company's intranet, and
all the links are going to the same main location.

       1.. Open the document for which you want to set a hyperlink base.
       2.. On the File menu, click Properties, and then click the Summary
tab.
       3.. In the Hyperlink base box, type the path you want to use for all
the hyperlinks you create in this document.

Hi Arlene,

The Hyperlink base shown from File=>Properties in Word 2003 that is in the webpage file file is pointing to your hard drive.  What
base did you set?

If you use File=>Save as Web Page (not .MHT) then save from there to
your website from MS Word and choose the .MHT format at that time do
you get the same result?

For a public webpage is there a particular reason for the .MHT format?
Not all browsers deal with them well.

Hi, Bob:

Thank you so much for your help. I've been reading your other posts for
other questions and they have been very helpful also.

I didn't set a base in this instance because it didn't seem to help. In a
past troubelshooting attempt, I set the base to C:\Documents and
Settings\All Users\Documents\GDP 10th Edition\Unit_24Folder\ and I'm not
even sure if that is correct as the whole concept of a hyperlink base is new
to me. Is that the correct base and would this create a relative link rather
than an absolute link?

I don't want to save as a Web page because I don't want to generate
supporting graphic files and folders. I'm writing a Word manual which uses
software that doesn't support all these extra files and folders for
graphics, etc., and that is why I'm limiting myself purposely to the *.mht
format. The purpose of my textbook and manual is to give Word users a shot
at creating Web pages, but again because of our software and how it uploads
files for grading, etc., I can't use any approach that will generate more
than one file for any given document. Hope that made sense.

Arlene
