Option 2: Convert the Word Document to HTML using Office's Save As Web page Feature

How To

This is one of the easiest options available.

1. Simply choose File and Save As Web page in Microsoft Word.
2. There are two options for Web page format in Microsoft Word XP:
   1. Web page - This format includes many Microsoft Office specific extensions and codes in the output and produces much more code. We do not recommend this option.
   2. Web page, filtered - This option creates a page with less code.
3. Upload the resulting HTML document to your Web server and create a link to the Web page.

Advantages

• Fast and easy; takes less than 5 minutes
• Produces a single Web page that can be easily printed

Disadvantages

• Save As feature produces a lot of unneccesary HTML code that might not work in all browsers
• One long document is generally not good for presentation on the Web; requires a lot of scrolling
• Document size is large and will take longer to download

Another popular, but tedious, option is to copy and paste text from Microsoft Word documents into your favorite editor used to create HTML documents. This has the advantage of dropping all of the format codes used in the Save As Web page option.
