Saving a Word Document as a Web Page

A Web Page is a document that can be used on the World Wide Web. Word converts a document to a Web page by adding HTML coding to the document. HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is a programming language used to create Web pages. HTML commands control the display of information on a page, such as font colors and size, and how an item will be processed. HTML also allows users to click on hyperlinks and jump to other locations on the same page, other pages in the same site, or to other sites and locations on the WWW altogether. HTML commands are interpreted by the browser software you are using. A browser is a program that connects you to the remote computers and displays the Web pages you request.

When a file is converted to a Web page, the HTML coding is added and it is saved to a new file with a .html file extension.

 

To save a Word document as a Web page:

Choose FILE/SAVE AS WEB PAGE.

The type of file is automatically specified. You wan to save the Web page using a file name that does not contain spaces or special characters.

 

You will also need to provide a title for the page. This is the text that will appear in the title bar of the Web browser when the page is displayed. You want the title to be similar to the file name.

Click OK and then SAVE.
