Transforming a Word document into a Web page ...........................

Now you should have a simple Word document with a few paragraphs — one

of which is italicized. You also have a couple of first-level heads and a couple

of second-level heads. You now want to save this file as MyFirst.htm. Follow

these steps to create an HTML file out of this document:

1. Choose File➪Save as Web Page.
   A Save dialog box appears, asking if you want to save this as an .mht
   (single file) Web page. This format is a specialized Microsoft format that
   includes lots of extra information about the document — so it can be
   edited using all the power of Word. You don’t need all that. You just want
   a simple HTML document generated here.


2. In the Save As Type list box at the bottom of the dialog box, click the
   down arrow to see the list of file type options and choose Web Page
   (.htm, .html). Name this file MyFirst.htm.

You’ve now created an HTML document named MyFirst.htm that can be

displayed in a browser.

You may also notice that the text looks smaller when the dialog box

closes and you’re returned to Word’s document view.
