Author Using Word to create webpage

I know this is a bit off topic but wondered if one of you
might be able to help.

I have a word template I want to use as a web page. I
know just enough to be dangerous. So I save the word doc
as a web page and upload it to my website and it looks
perfect except the pictures don't show up. I have
uploaded the pictures as well but I suspect there is
something else I am not doing. Any suggestions?
Thanks. Bill

It is far better to build your pages in FrontPage than Word or Publisher.
You will get much cleaner code and everything will work better. Use FP as it
is designed... not Word!

Usually, when Word creates an HTML file from document that
contains pictures, it store the pictures into a
hidden "thicket" folder named xxxxxx_files where xxxxxx is
the original document's base file name.

So, if wonderful.doc contained pictures and you save it as
wonderful.htm, you would also get a hidden wonderful_files
folder. Then, you would need to publish both the
wonderful.htm file and the hidden wonderful_files folder.

To see the thicket folder:

1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Choose Folder Options from the Tools menu
3. Click the View tab.
4. Under Hidden files and folders, select Show Hidden
Files And Folders.
5. Under Managing Pairs Of Web Pages And Folder,
select either of the options that begins
Show Both Parts.

(BTW, the two Manage As A Single File options mean that
when you more, rename, or delete the .htm file, Windows
will perform the same operation to the _files thicket
folder.)

For more details, try steps 1-10 of this related
PowerPoint article:

However, I agree with ETC that you're much better off
copying the plain text and any pictures individually out
of Word, and using them to construct a true Web Page.
