Step 9 – Saving as a Web Page |
|
The end is near! Up to this point you have been creating web pages in a proprietary Word document format. The content, images and graphics, and formatting are embedded in your Word documents. The next phase in our web development project is to save each of the document files in a web page or HTML format. It is important to note that Word will create web pages from document files that very close represent the print format create in a document file – but not always exactly. During the web page creation process you many have a number or graphic or image files in the same folder as your Word web page document files. It is recommended that you create a new folder and copy only the Word files that are to be converted to web pages to this folder. Your folder name should be short yet descriptive. An example of a folder name may be “351tutorial,” “train-site,” or “web-work.” Notice that there are no spaces in the folder name and they are all lower-case letters. At this time you should rename your “home” or main page as “index.doc.” This will be the default page when accessing your web site. After converting the first Word document to a web page format you will notice that there is a new file and folder created. In our example of our main or index page. The new file created will be index.htm (or index.html) and a new folder created in addition. This folder will be named index_files. During the coversion process, Word will create the folder, append “_files” to your file name and contain all of the graphics included in your page as well as a text file called “fillist.xml.” The file list provides information to your web page about its related images and etc. Your new web page and “files” folder must retain the same relationship in its location. |
