How Word works to create web
pages
When you build a web page in Word, you
are using Word to edit your text and insert
your pictures.
This is often done with the text and images
inside a table.
When you SAVE your document as a Word
file, it maintains all the characteristics of a
Word document. You can edit and move as
you wish.

Tip >> Text Wrapping does not work well at
all when your document is converted to a
web page. I recommend you not use it. Just
stick with the cells in the table.
Stick with the tips for text on the class web
site.
How Word works to create web
pages
When you SAVE AS your Word document to
hypetext markup language (.htm), the new
formatting – htm – overrides the language
Word used to build the page – to a certain
extent.
This is why things like page breaks disappear
in the web version of your document. It’s
also why things tend to move a bit.
How to edit your web pages
Probably the best practice to edit your web
pages is to use your web browser – Firefox,
Chrome, IE, etc. to proof your page after you
SAVE AS your document as an .htm file
THEN – go back to the original Word
document, make your changes and re-save
your corrected version as a new .htm file.
