Default html vs htm

When you save as a "Web page" in Word, you're not really getting anything
very well designed to be a Web page. You're getting an HTML document that
can be viewed in a browser. The extra code included (unless you save as "Web
page, filtered," and even that is still pretty messy) is intended to permit
the file to be converted back into a Word document, retaining all its
formatting.

I have been told the extra code is meant to ease conversion into the MS Doc
file formats.

htm and html are the same, just different extensions.
