Learning basic html using Microsoft word:
1. Converts text to HTML code
2. Transforms images to GIF or JPEG formats (that are web-compatible)
3. Creates a single HTML file
4. Generates an XML style sheet (XML=Extensible Markup Language)
5. Makes a folder that contains XML file
• Create a basic web page using word by opening a blank document and adding your own text and pictures.
Always use pictures that are taken by YOU or you have permission to use!
• Save the word file as web page format ; file extension .htm or html (as for example index.htm or index.html).
• Always name your main home page as index • An additional folder is generated with the same name as the web page file
(as for example index_ files)
