I have created a document with some pictures. I am then creating a *.htm file
from that.
When I display the document using IE the pictures are not displaying. Any
ideas?

When Word saves a document as HTML, it creates a subfolder in the same
folder, using the document's name with "_files" appended to it. The pictures
are in that subfolder, and the document contains links to them.

If you moved the document to a web server, you may not have moved the
subfolder along with it. Then IE would show broken links.

The problem is I do not have a web server. I am storing the document in a
document management tool and sending the URL out to associates, so there is
no concept of a sub folder. Any ideas?

1) Before opening Word create a folder/directory structure which parallels
the folder/directory of your website.

2) Copy the Word doc you intend to use [and also any images] in the web page
creation into what ever folder/directory of your newly-created-parallel
website-local folder/directory

Open Word:

3) Tools / Options / General / Web Options / Pictures / Untick both; Rely
on VML and Allow PNG

4) Tools / Options / General / Web Options / Files / Untick both; Organize
Files in Supporting Folder and Update links on Save
(NOTE: Word retains these settings thus far.)

5) Delete previously created web page.

6) Open the Word doc you intend to use as your web page. If you have any
pictures "inserted" remove those pictures.

7) /Insert/ Picture/ insert/ arrow/ Link to File
(Word does NOT retain this Link to File setting and as a result it MUST
be selected each time.

8) Save the Word Doc

9) Save the Word doc as web page (preferably under another name for safety.)

10) upload the new page and images to your website (deleting the websites
older pages in the process.

With this method in tact, the path which you have desired all along is
defined as I previously provided in the following example: [see additonal
reply below previous reply]
