Default Website Index

Hi Eridyard,

When using File=Save as in Word, choose
'web page-filtered' (after saving a master copy as a .doc file).

Name the 'web page' as "index.html" (be sure to put it in quotes and that it's in all lower case, then upload it to your website.
(If your ISP has FrontPage Server Extensions, you should be able to save from Word directly to your website with the "index.html" as
your primary page. Some web servers will not 'see' the page if the name has upper case letters.

"Step 4: View Your Page On The Internet

To access your web site, in the address bar of your browser, enter:

www.frontiernet.net/~username/ (where 'username' is the first part of
your email address before the '@' symbol)

Note: The method described above will allow you to reach your web page if
you have named your initial page "index.html". If you have not named your
initial page "index.html", then you'll need to add a bit more to the web site
address to which you are browsing, to be able to view your web page. For
example, if you named your web page "sunrise.html", then to view the page,
you'd need to browse to http://www.frontiernet.net/~username/sunrise.html
(again, where 'username' is the first part of your email address before the
'@' symbol)."

I tried entering the name of my initial page and it just didn't work.

When I called Technical Support is when they told me I needed to create an
index using FrontPage. I DO understand that a Website Index is different
from an Index you can create in Word. I was hoping that Word had a way to
create a Website Index. Since you can write and create webpages in Word, I
had high expectations of Word's capabilities and was hopeful it could be done
in Word.

Thanks.
