Option 3: Adding Links to Improve Navigation

This is similar to Option 2, but rather than creating one long HTML document you create several shorter HTML documents with links between them to ease navigation.

How To

1. Break the report up into smaller sections or chapters in Word.
2. Using Word's Save As Web page feature described in Option 2, save each chapter as a separate Web page.
3. Using your favorite Web editor or good old-fashioned HTML, create links between the separate Web pages and create a table of contents with links to each section.
4. Upload all of your pages to the Web server.

Advantages

• Good solution for presentation on the Web because it is easy to navigate and reduces scrolling
• Allows people to view and/or print just the sections of the report that they want
• Because the documents are broken up into smaller sections, the Web pages load more quickly

Disadvantages

• Time consuming; long document must be broken up into smaller pieces and links created between the pieces.
• Usually requires some knowledge of HTML or a Web authoring tool like FrontPage or Dreamweaver.
• Not as easy to print the entire report at one time.
