MICROSOFT WORD

About creating a Web page
You can use Microsoft Word to create Web pages in the same way you create regular Word documents.
To get you started, Word offers some easy ways to begin your Web page. You can use the Web Page Wizard, a Web page template, or save a Word document as a Web page.
By using the Web Page Wizard
By using the Web Page Wizard, you can create a single Web page or an entire Web site. You can add existing Web pages and Word documents to your Web site. Add a theme, insert link bars, and use frames to make your Web pages more dynamic and engaging.
By using a Web page template
When you use a Web page template, Word will make features that are not supported by your target browser unavailable so that you don't have to worry about how your formatting will look in a Web browser. Add a theme, insert link bars, and use frames to make your Web pages more dynamic and engaging. To apply formatting quickly to several pages, you can attach cascading style sheets (CSS).
From an existing Word document
Save an existing document as a Web page to quickly get your Word documents ready for copying to the Web or an intranet.

WORD AND THE WEB

Word's Web Page Wizard can help you to create web pages for the Internet with pre-set layouts and graphics - this is particularly useful if you want to create the web page quickly.

Follow these steps to create a web page using the wizard.

1. Click on File on the menu bar, then click on New.
2. The New box shown below will appear on the screen:
3. Click the Web Pages tab in the box.
4. Click on the Web Page Wizard icon and then click on OK.
5. Click Next on the first Web Page Wizard box.
6. Title and Location - Enter a title for your web site and type in the location where your web files will be saved on your computer. Then click on Next to finish.


7. Navigation - Select a navigation type for the web page, preferably Separate page as this is the best type as easy to use. Click on Next.
   

 

8. Add Pages - The next screen will list the pages that currently make up your web site. To add a new page to your web site click on Add New Blank Page, and highlight a page in the list. Click on Remove Page to delete pages from your web site. If you want to add a page that you have already created then click on Add Existing File and select the page you want to add.
   




If you want to insert a page which already has a layout then click on Add Template Page. Before you decide on which template to use, highlight each choice in the Web Page Templates window. You will be able to see a preview of template in the main window. When you have decided on which template to use highlight it and then click on OK.


9. Organize Pages - This allows you to reorder the pages in your web site. Highlight the name of the page that you want to move and then click on Move Up or Move Down. To rename a page click on Rename and type in the new name.
   
10. Visual Theme - Click on No visual theme for a blank page or select Add a visual theme and click Browse Themes to select a graphical theme.
    




If you want to preview a theme then highlight the themes in the list shown in the Themes box. Click the boxes next to Vivid Colours and Active Graphics so that a tick appears in each indicating that these options apply. Click the box next to Background Image so the tick disappears from it to remove the graphic from the background of the page.

Click 'OK' when you have finished.
