Hi There,
when I convert a *.DOC file to an HTML file and then call
that html file in an ASP page( http://MyWebsite/Main.asp?
id=DIR1/HTML/DOC2HTML.html)
cant see any of the images in the html page. However, when
I directly open that html page in IE, I can see the
images, would you please let me know why this happens and
what is the solution?
Many thanks,
Leila

Hi Leila,

Do you have an URL where this is happening?

I'm assuming you're pointing to an existing
web document & support file folder at this
point and that you're using IE on the website
not to look at the HTM file on your hard drive
in a file folder?

If so, then as a guess, you may need a base=statement in
the document (File=>Properties=>Hyperlink base
if you're working in Word).

Hi Bob, thanks so much for the reply. well I usually use
webApp tools like Dreamweaver, etc for web developing but
now I am working with few people who dont have those kind
of software and dont know much about HTML files. What they
want to do is to create a doc and insert bunch of images
and pdf files and links into it and save it as an html
page on the webserver. I created an ASP page to put all
these different html pages together in one page and then
send the link to other people as a daily newsletter by
email.
the problem is when Word creates the html page and support
folder on the webserver the asp page(through the URL) can
show the image but when I modify those pages with
dreamweaver and reinsert the images <img
src="../Images/mainLogo.gif" > the asp page is fine
I'm wondering how they can create these html files in Word
without needing me to fix these links?
My question got long as a story but if you could help I
really appreciate it :)
Thanks
Leila

"I'm wondering how they can create these html files in Word without needing

By having the contributors duplicate your website directory structure and
using relative links to define their own links.

You initial inquiry contained "
http://MyWebsite/Main.asp?id=DIR1/HTML/DOC2HTML.html"
a server side generated ID and there is no way that any contributors may
have any knowlege of that path or any other server side generated path.

Dear Leila,

I have create a tool to combine the power of Microsoft Word and
Macromedia Dreamweaver. Now you can edit content with Word and
generate web pages to Dreamweaver with couple of clicks. Take a look
http://www.word2help.com. Now it is freeware, I am open to any
suggestions and ideas.

I think, this tool matches your needs.
