How do I save as a html document?

JeanAnn · External Since: Dec 16, 2005 Posts: 1

Older versions of Word allowed you to save as an html format ready to upload
to web site - new version does not or I don't see you to do it from the File
menu! Now it saves as a MIME format??

You don't say what version you actually have, but have you tried File | Save
as Web Page or just selecting one of the Web Page options in "Files of type"
in the Save As dialog?

Hi Bob,

May I jump in here to ask a related question? Is there a way to make a macro
or shortcut button for "Save As web page (html)"? I use this command a lot,
and it was easy to access from the keyboard with Word 2003. Using Word 2007,
it seems to require a lot of mouse work to get to this command. I tried
recording a macro, but the macro is too specific, and contains the particular
file folder, file name etc that I used when recording the macro.

Thanks
Wendell

Assign this to a keyboard shortcut:

Sub SaveAsWebPage()
Dim dlg As Dialog
Set dlg = Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs)
dlg.Format = wdFormatHTML
dlg.Show
Set dlg = Nothing
End Sub

If you want the filtered HTML version, replace wdFormatHTML with
wdFormatFilteredHTML.

Thanks Suzanne, but what is the difference with Save AS web page, web page
filtered and single file?

Save as Web Page saves the document as an .htm file, preserving all the
formatting of the Word document so that, if desired, it can be resaved as a
..doc file without losing formatting. "Web Page, Filtered" also saves as .htm
but removes some of the formatting data for a more efficient Web page. It is
still, I am reliably informed, extremely bloated and ugly HTML, however.

Both of those file types save illustrations as separate, linked files. This
can be extremely useful if you are trying to extract pasted graphics as
separate files in JPG or GIF format. "Single File Web Page" uses the .mht
format which, as I understand it, somehow embeds the graphics in the file
itself (just as the Word document does).

Coincidence that I was just playing with these, since Word's Help said
nothing. While it is likely true that "Web Page, Filtered" is also
considered ugly, it DOES significantly reduce the weight (size) of the
resulting HTM document, compared to the simple 'save as web page". In my
case, the non-filtered file was 77K, filtered was 28K (and if I hand code a
really stripped version, it would be around 16K).

I can't get my picture to be embedded in my web page. It comes out distorted
or with a square in the left hand corner that says the title.jpeg. I tried
saving as html, htm, mht. I don't know what i am doing wrong. Everywhere I
read it says to make a page in word as usual and then save as web page and
you are done. Please help!

Is the picture embedded before you start, or is it linked? If you have
copied it from the Web, there's a good chance it's linked. Press Alt+F9; if
you see an INCLUDEPICTURE field code, then the picture is linked; press
Ctrl+Shift+F9 to unlink it, then try again saving as a Web page.

I was told to save a holiday e-letter written in word 2007 to HTML so I could
maximize the # of people on my e-mail list who could actually open it. I am
not sending any pictures--just a letter. Since the saving as HTML seems to
be such a difficult process, what is the next best option? Thanks, Cheryl

I am wanting to e-mail a holiday letter written in Word 2007 to a variety of
people w a variety of computers and versions. I was told it should be saved
as a HTML document but this sounds very difficult to do. What is the next
best option? Thanks, Cheryl
