Previewing Web Pages

After you create or enhance a Web page, you should preview it in a Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, or in the Office program to make sure others see your Web page the same way you do. Web Page Preview displays the open file in your default browser even if you haven't saved it yet. Web Layout view shows you how a document will be displayed on the Web. If the document includes formatting or layouts that cannot be achieved in HTML, Word switches to an HTML layout that closely matches the original look.

Office takes advantage of Web technologies . Office takes advantage of Internet Explorer support for HTML and Cascading Style Sheets to bring the familiar Office look and feel to HTML documents. For example, underlining and tables in HTML format appear nearly identical to the Office document format.
