How do I add a pic to an HTML doc so you can see it online?
I am trying to edit an already existing webpage using word. The person who
created the website before me obviously knew what they were doing. I want to add some pics to some pages and when I do, I can see them in the word document and even on the HTML document file. Then when I copy it to the internet file to post to the website and pull up the website, there is a white box with a red X in the corner shows up instead of the picture I saw before. What do I need to do to be able to see the picture? |

Word has a nasty habit of changing relative paths in Web pages to absolute
ones. The result is that INCLUDEPICTURE field for your picture is pointing to your hard drive instead of the correct location on the Web server. I tried *everything* that was suggested to get around this and never found anything that really worked, which is why I threw in the towel and started using FrontPage instead. -- Suzanne S.

What do I need to do to be able to see the picture? The solution is to duplicate a directory/folder structure on your local computer which matches the directory/folder structure of your website. Afterwards, only utilizuing links within the parallel structure (as opposed to linking in images in your "My Documents" diirectory. This is all simple path comprehension of web sites of which many people are not in the lest interested in grasping. folder 1 MyWebsite SubFolder MyImages SubFolder MyWigets Place your active html page in either the root folder (folder 1 MyWebsite) or sub-folder (SubFolder MyWigets) and use relative patehs to the "SubFolder MyImages". Then upload both your edited webpage and your added images to the parallel directories on your website. |

I guarantee Word will still thwart you at every turn. The only solution I
found was to insert absolute links to the online folder path. -- Suzanne S.

In theory at least, tools options general web options files
uncheck 'update links on save' should overcome this issue so should be worth trying. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S.

Didn't I say I'd tried everything? I'm reasonably certain that was one of
the things I tried (can't check as it was on my old computer). -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...
