MAKING WEBPAGES WITH MICROSOFT WORD

1. Make a folder on your desktop named “webpages” (LOWER CASE)

2. Place a folder inside the folder titled “images” (when titling folders use lowercase and no spaces)

3. Open up a blank word document and make a table to contain your webpage. In our class example we used a table 10x2. On the MENU BAR click on VIEW – TOOLBARS – TABLES ANDBORDERS – use the eraser in the pop-up dialogue box to erase the divider on the first three rows, so that the first three rows are now undivided and the next seven rows are divided into two columns.

INDONESIA : CULTURE, CLIMATE AND CURRENT EVENTS
INSERT PICTURE HERE
INTRODUCTION
ADD TOPICS IN THE TABLE HERE	ADD TOPICS IN THE TABLE HERE
AND BELOW AS PER EXAMPLE	AND BELOW AS PER EXAMPLE
EX: CURRENT EVENTS	EX: ART
GEOGRAPHY	MUSIC
CLIMATE	DANCE

4. Inside the first column on the first row of your table, type your project’s title. For example: Indonesia: Culture, Climate and Current Events. All normal word functions such as size, font, color and formatting work as they usually do in Microsoft Word.

5. Save your document to your folder named “webpages” – giving your document the name “homepage”. Add topics and pictures.

6. Go to the Internet and find some appropriate pictures and save them to the “images” folder in your “webpages” folder.

7. Add Pictures by going to the MENU BAR and clicking INSERT-PICTURE – FROM FILE. Navigate to your “images” folder – click on the appropriate picture – then click INSERT.

8. Now begin creating your pages to be linked to the topics you have added in your table. When you have completed your other pages using Microsoft Word save them with distinct names you recognize so they can be linked to your homepage topics.

Linking other pages to your homepage

When you have completed a new page and given it a distinct title such as “This is my second page,” or “Indonesian Art” save it to your “webpages” folder . If you want to be able to return to your homepage from this page, type – “Click here to return to homepage.” Reopen your document. Save your second document as a webpage by going to the MENU BAR and clicking on FILE - “SAVE AS WEBPAGE” this is located just below “SAVE AS”. This will change add a .htm to the end of your document name instead of .doc. Click “SAVE” but do not close this page.
Open up your original word document, “homepage”. Save this document as a webpage. Do not close this document.
Highlight the topic which you want to connect to your second page. For Example “ART”. GO to the MENU BAR – click on INSERT – HYPERLINK. In the dialogue box click on “DOCUMENT” click on “SELECT”. Navigate to the document in this case “Indonesia Art.htm” and then click OPEN. The word “ART” has now turned blue and is linked to your second page, “Indonesia Art”.
Click on your document “Indonesia Art.htm. This should still be open on your desktop. Highlight the words that say “Return to Homepage”. Go the MENU BAR – Click on HYPERLINK. Click on DOCUMENT – Click SELECT. Navigate to “Hompage.htm” – Click Open. The words “Return to Homepage” have now turned blue and are an active link. By clicking on these words you will be able to return to the Homepage. Now SAVE and close your second page “Indonesian Art.htm”. Add additional pages to the topics on the homepage table in the same way. When you are finished adding all your finished pages SAVE and close the “Homepage.htm”.
Go to your webpages folder and open up “homepage.htm” Your webpage will open up Internet Explorer and show your webpage. Congratulations.

About creating Web pages

You can start a new page by using a template, or you can convert an existing Microsoft Word document to HTML, the format used for Web pages. When you create a Web page, Word customizes some toolbars, menu commands, and options to provide the Web page authoring features.

Save a document in HTML format

Word provides two options for saving files in HTML format to help you manage the size of the files you are working with.

• Save entire file into HTML This option saves all of the document's properties into the HTML file. Use this option if you have Word-specific elements in your document, such as comments, header or footer information, or document properties that you want to maintain but that won't appear when the document is viewed in a Web browser. When you select this option, Word retains all of the special elements and attributes contained in the file.

• Save only display information in HTML format This option saves only the elements and attributes in your Word document that can be displayed in a Web browser. Any Word-specific properties that your document has that are not supported in Web browsers will be lost. Use this option if you want to reduce the size of the HTML file and you won't need to maintain any Word-specific properties in your document.

Save as a single file Web page

This option saves all of the elements of a document, including text and graphics, in a single file Web page, also called a Web Archive. You can use Web Archive files to easily back up your Web pages. This encapsulation also lets you save your document as an HTML formatted e-mail message, which you can send by using Microsoft Entourage.
