What the heck happened to my images when I converted the Word document to a webpage? Most of the website was from a template and I began editing in Word.

I'm a technical dunce when it comes to web design and HTML. Should I just start over with a new Word document rather than the downloaded template and add only the features I liked from it?

Thanks!!!!:bow:

Word really isnt the best program to use, its not what it was designed for. Try using notepad instead.
As for the images though, those wouldnt work no matter what program you used, you have them linked to your computer eg:

file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Corpwell%20Systems/My%20Documents/CorpwellWesiteStuff/Corpwell%20Systems,%20Inc_files/foto.jpg

that means only you can see them offline because only you have that file in that place, you need to upload the images to your webspace then link them accordingly eg

http://www.corpwellsystems.com/foto.jpg

She/He would have been using word because you can make the layout one to one without having to do all the annoying code :(

You could always download Netobjects Fusion and give that a try (free trial demo)
There are many other programs that can do this too if you have a look around

As for free picture space you could always upload them to photobucket if there is not that many?

I advise that you learn HTML and make your pages with notepad. If you dont have the time, then you could use Microsoft Frontpage.

yup.
thus Word is known is one of the worst things to use for creating a webpage.
it was not originally created to produce such a document type. they kinda just threw it together to "help" some people make a webpage.

Annoying code? This is HTML we're talking about! I don't see why people don't just learn it in the first place, it's a lot less stressful in the longrun than those pagebuilder programmes, and especially MS Word...

I'm another fan of NotePad AND NoteTab "Light" which I found online.

I got the Freeware version at notetab.com and was provided by Fookes Software.

This version allows you to have multiple pages open inside one 'window' (via tabs), plus supplies you with easy access to a lot of repititious coding.

I'm not a salesperson for the company and do not get any kickbacks on visits. I am just a die-hard NotePad fan, converted.

MS Word inserts too many propietary coding that really makes web pages hard to work with.

He isn't talking about doing any HTML editing in MS Word; simply using the rather cheap and stupid web design templates that Microsoft inserted into MS Word.

lol. i do my stuff on word... =( lol. i should use wordpad but i'm lazy, and microsoft word is right on ym desktop.. lol

Wordpad = crappy as well :P Notepad > both microsoft word programs

When I first started doing HTML, I used this program called DerekWare. It's like notepad. You start out with a blank white page and then you start doing your code but if you forgot how to do something, like insert a picture as a link... you click on the "insert picture hyperlink" button and it inserts the code for you. I don't think I would have ever learned HTML if I hadn't found that program!! But seriously tho... I think everyone who designs webpages should do the coding themselves because it just makes you feel good that put all this mumbo jumbo together and made an awesome webpage...
