Getting Started with Web Pages in Word
(See a sample student page made in Word)
Create a Folder

First of all, before starting any web page you must create a folder where all parts of the web page will be saved and stored.

  1. Open your personal folder on Servertwo.
  2. Go to "File", choose "New", then "Folder".
  3. Name the folder with a lower-case name that makes sense. The name should not be too long.
Open Microsoft Word
  1. Click on the menu.
  2. Go to Programs.
  3. Click on Microsoft Word.
Make Your Web Page

(IMPORTANT: If you want to convert a regular Word document to a web page see below.)

  1. Choose "New" from the "File" menu. On the right side of the window, click on "Blank Web page". Save this to the folder your just made. If this is your home page, call it "index". All page names should be lower case with no spaces.
  2. Type in the contents and save again. Save every time you add content or make a change.
  3. Insert any pictures, graphs, or anything else you may want and SAVE some more. (Note: All pictures must have a "Tight" wrapping style. To do this, double click on the picture to bring up the Format Picture window. Select the Layout tab at the top of the window, and then select "Tight" under wrapping style, and press OK. If this doesn't work choose "In front of text".
Make A Regular Word Document into a Web Page
  1. Click on the File button
  2. Go to "Save as..." and click on it.
  3. Then a window similar to the one to the left would pop up. Click on the drop down menu on the bottom of the window, which says Save as type.
  4. Choose "Web Page" among the different file types. Save your first page (or home page) of the web site with the name "index".
Linking Pages
  1. Have at least two web pages prepared for linking.
  2. In the page from which you are linking, highlight/select the desired text or picture that will be your link.
  3. Right click on the highlighted region, and click on "Hyperlinks" on the pop-up menu. You can also choose the hyperlink icon from the menu bar. It looks like this:
  4. Choose the page in the window where you want your link to go and click "OK". Here is an example of what your link should look like this when it is done:
  5. Move your mouse over the linked region to check the link. A yellow box should pop up and display the inserted path of link like this:
  6. Do Ctrl+click to follow the link and check if it is correctly linked
Check the Work
  1. After finishing the work, go to the folder where the file has been saved.
  2. Double click on the file to make sure it displays in an Internet browser. Check all of your links. Do this periodically.
