Word 2002: Creating Web Pages Using Word
1. Save a Word document as a Web Page
In this project, you save the resume created in Project 3 as a Web page. Then, you create another web page using Word's Web Page Wizard. This web page contains two frames. Frames allow you to display information in two separate sections of a screen. The frames associated with a Web page in a file are called the Frames Page. The frames page is not visible on the screen; however when you open the document in Word or a Web browser, the frames appear on the screen.
Refer to Figures 1a to see the frame appearing on the left side of the screen and containing a link to a resume and favorite sites. Notice in the same figure, a hyperlink is created at the top right of the resume to link to an email program.
Web pages can be published to the Web so that their contents can be ready by anyone having access to the Web. Refer to Appendix C for the procedures for publishing Web pages in Microsoft Office.
You open a previously created document. In this project, you are asked to open the Carter Resume created in Project 3. Click File on the Menu bar and click Save as Web Page. Enter text as shown in Figure 3.
Notice Word switches to Web layout view. The toolbar buttons and menu commands are altered to include Web page authoring features.
2. Create a Web page using the Web Page Wizard
You can create a Web page by using the Web template available in Word or with the Web Page Wizard. In this section you use the wizard to create a new Web page with frames. Click File on the Menu bar. Click General Templates under the New Document task pane. Click the Web Page Wizard icon.
When you double-click the icon, the Wizard displays the Start panel as shown in Figure 6. Click the Next button and the Title and Location panel displays. Enter text as shown in the same figure. Follow the steps as shown in Figures 7 and 8.
You select the Carter resume created in Project 3. In Figure 9, the file is renamed My Resume and put in a specified sequence. Figure 11 shows the selection of a theme or collection of built-in colors and other design elements.
At any time, you can click the Back button in the Wizard to revisit a specific panel. You can cancel by clicking the Cancel button in the Wizard. Notice a Help button is also available to assist you in using the Wizard feature.

To resize a web page frame, point to the frame border as shown in Figure 12. Your mouse pointer changes to a double-headed arrow. Drag the border to the left as shown in Figure 13. Now, the left frame is substantially narrower than the right frame containing the resume.
4. View and Edit the Web Page in Your BrowserThe Web Page Preview command is available so that you can view your web pages without having to connect to the Internet. Click File on the Menu bar and click Web Page Preview. The Web browser opens in a separate window and displays the Web page as it will appear on the Internet.
You can test your hyperlinks from the browser window before publishing your web page to the Internet. Just click the links created in the left frame for this project. If you are not connected to the Internet, your browser will connect you and display the Web site.
You can edit your web pages directly from Internet Explorer. Start Internet Explorer by clicking the Start button as shown in Figure 17.
Click in the Address box, type the a: and retrieve your file from your floppy disk. Click the Edit with Microsoft Word button as shown in the same figure. This button appears on the toolbar because Internet Explorer determines which Office program created the file. You can now make whatever editing changes you decide is appropriate. Notice the changes made to the resume in Figures 18 and 19.
