Default HTML source - Word 2007

Yes...in an intro Engineering course I TA (we do basic C++ programming
and numerical methods), we have students make a webpage. One of the
suggested editors (besides Notepad and FrontPage) is Word... I found it
hilarious though that the prof who made the slides talked about all the
garbage that Word puts into an HTML file without ever mentioning that
it's there because the web page feature of Word has a different purpose
(meaning it was not designed for making a web page, but for rendering a
Word document in HTML as close as only possible to the original Word
file).
I get to tell people every semester that using Word for web pages is a
ludicrous idea.

The worst of it is that many people who are attempting to are apparently
doing it as part of a class assignment.

No one should be using Word to create web pages...

Thanks, Patrick. I long since "outgrew" Word's Web capabilities and
"graduated" to FrontPage.

Word still creates webpages (AFAIK, there was no improvement/change

made
in that area), but there is no built-in way anymore to view the raw

HTML
code.
If you want clean HTML code out of Word, you need to use its new
blogging feature by the way.

Does this mean that Word no longer creates Web pages or just that
there's no
way to view the raw HTML source code (without resorting to Notepad)?

Thanks Suzanne. I didn't know that.
I went and looked. The feature to view an HTML Source has been

removed
from Word 2007.

Of a Web page. In previous versions, when you save as .htm, the

View
menu
gets a new item, "HTML Source."
