• Save a Word documenteither created with a Web page template or as a regular Word documentas a Web page.

• Save a Web page as a regular Word document.

• Detailed instructions for using the Save As dialog are provided in Chapter 2.

To save a document as a Web page

2.	Use the dialog to enter a name and select a disk location for the file.
3.	Make sure Web Page (HTML) is chosen from the Format pop-up menu.
4.	Select one of the radio buttons to specify how the Web page should be saved: Save entire file into HTML saves all properties of the document, including Word-specific elements that don't display on the Web. Use this option if the document contains headers, comments, footnotes, or other elements you want to retain. Save only display information into HTML saves only the information that will display on the Web. This discards all Word-specific elements.
5.	To specify a page title for the Web page, click the Web Options button. Then enter a page title and keywords in the General pane of the Web Options dialog that appears (Figure 28) and click OK. Figure 28. Use this dialog to enter a page title and keywords for the Web page.

Tips

• A Web page title is the text that appears in the title bar of a Web browser.

• When Word saves a document as a Web page, it creates a folder named filename_files (Figure 29) that contains image files that are part of the Web page. When copying Web pages to a directory on a Web server to make them available on the Internet or an intranet, be sure to include the Web page file and this folder of associated image files.

  Figure 29. Word saves not only the document, but all image files embedded in it. All of these files must be copied to the Web server for the page to appear properly.
