Again, answers in-line...

Do you know why one cannot save as .html in the Save As menu and have it work properly? When I do it that way all I get when I open the file for preview in the brower is just the text of the code, not the photo which should appear. Without being able to watch exactly what you're doing, I'll guess from the description earlier in the thread that you're typing the HTML codes into the Word document exactly as you'd expect to see them in Notepad, but using merge fields in the places where file names belong. When you use Word's File Save As to convert this to an .html file, Word is trying to preserve *what you see on the screen*. To do that, it's converting each bracket to the HTML code < and each bracket to > . All the other HTML special characters are being similarly translated. The result is an HTML file that displays what *looks like* (but isn't really) HTML code. I don't know what else you can do other than what you're doing now -- saving as .txt and changing the extension (and I'll repeat that you don't need Notepad, just use Windows Explorer's rename command to change the extension). I'm sure some HTML editor -- maybe FrontPage -- can do merges; but I don't maintain any web sites so I've never looked into it. The /n switch did stop a blank document from opening when I started Word, but when I then open a new blank document it opens in that window that started. I would like the first document to open in its own window as do the second, third, fourth, etc. documents. Is there any way to do this? No. That's just the way Word works. Also, when Windows Explorer is open (and open to a particular file, let's say My Pictures) and it is partially behind another window, if you click on the Windows Explorer window in the right panel, for example, to bring it forward, the file that is open to show its contents will change unless you click exactly on it / its icon or horizonally to it in either direction. If you click next to a different file (and not even on the file's icon / name itself) in either hrizontal direction, that file opens to reveal its content, so you have to go back and select the file that was originally open and showing its contents. One should have to click directly on a file name / icon or on the +/- to have the file reveal its contents and not have this happen by clicking anywhere in the horizonal direction to that file. Sorry, I don't have any idea what you're talking about here. In any case, it isn't a problem with Word. Here is another situation: My browser window is fully open. I open a Word document. I click anywhere in the browser window or on a feature and Word automatically minimizes itself. I have AOL, BTW. Is there anyway to stop this automatic minimizing from happening? If one clicks on the desktop, it doesn't minimize, so it has to do with the browser. Again, I don't have AOL -- wouldn't touch it if you paid me -- so you'll have to ask somebody else. gman Freedman" wrote: I think you should be able to save from Word as a .txt file and then just change the file's extension to .htm or .html. You don't need Notepad to do that. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
