Start the Web Page Wizard

Start by clicking New (File menu). On the Web Pages tab, double-click Web Page Wizard.

From the list of Web pages, click one that best suits the content of the Web page you want to create. You can choose from different kinds of Web pages, such as a home page with two columns, a personal home page, a registration form, or a survey form.

After you select the type of Web page, click the Next button, and then select the style that you want. For business-oriented pages, for example, you may want to use styles such as Professional or Elegant. For personal home pages, on the other hand, you may want to use the Jazzy or Festive style.

If you want to try different styles to see which one looks best, just click another style name, and that style will be applied to the Web page that you’ve selected.

Don’t see the Web Pages tab?   The Web authoring components may not be installed. To add these components, rerun Setup and then select Web Page Authoring (HTML). For more information, see Add or Remove Components.

Want to create a Web page from scratch?   Click New (File menu). On the Web Pages tab, double-click the Blank Web Page template. Create your Web page by using the commands on the menus and toolbars. Want to create a Web page from an existing Word document?   Open the document that you want to convert into a Web page, click Save as HTML (File menu), and then name the new Web page. Keep in mind that HTML, the format in which Web pages are published, does not support all of the features that Word supports. Your Web page, therefore, may look different from your Word document.

What Happened to the Toolbars and Menus?

When you work on Web pages, you will notice that the toolbars and menus are not the same as those you see when working on a Word document. This is because HTML, the underlying file format for Web pages, does not support all Word features.

Following is a partial list of Word features that HTML does not support at this time: newspaper-style columns; paragraph borders; text effects such as shadowing, embossing, and engraving; headers and footers; footnotes; and cross-references.

Even though these features are not currently supported by HTML, you can achieve similar effects. For example, you can use tables instead of columns, and instead of using a cross-reference, you can add a hyperlink.
