Built site in word- FTP- No pictures

[Dan Ohlman]

I have designed a web page in Word- To the discouragement of everyone I talk with. I have done everything possible to get my pictures to show up... to no avail. I have been reading all I can... Even the other threads who have had the same problem... I have done just what these threads recommend and still not pictures. I have been telling lots of people here in Northern Idaho that you can do a simple web page in Word- They are all excited... But I can't seem to get it to work. Help!!! websites or phone numbers of anyone who can help would be great- I will pass on the advice and show everyone here what can be done with Word

Can you give a web address where you've posted such a page? I can
probably spot the problem.

Don't know what you've done so far, so I'll risk offending you by
starting with the basics. The most important thing is that you need to
make sure you post your pictures to your website along with the html
file.

HTML is a text-only format. When you save a document as a web page, Word
saves the text-only .htm file along with a Folder containing pictures.
If you save the file as "test.htm", the folder by default will be called
test_files.

Links from the html file to the pictures are relative, for example

<img width=119 height=143 id="_x0000_i1025"
src="test_files/image001.png">

This means that on your web server, the folder test_files needs to be in
the same directory as test.htm. If you move the pictures elsewhere, you
need to correct the link(s).

You can test that the pictures are available on the server. If your web
page URL is

http://dummydomain.com/test.htm

then type

http://dummydomain.com/test_files/image001.png

to load image001 in a browser window.

Hi Dan:

Take a look at http://www.word.mvps.org -- many of the pages on that site
are done in Word.

Your problem is that Word uses explicit paths to resources. You need to FTP
your pictures up to the website FIRST, and THEN insert them in your web
page, so they are already on the server when Word comes to write the link
for them.

Hope this helps

This is what I did- what is going wrong?
1. Open Word-New blank page-
2. Type Paul Bielec-Font Aachen Bold-72 point-Return
3. Insert-Pictures-from file... 3 times
4. Save as Web Page- Sample.htm... to the desktop
5. Open Commercial1031/Public_html folder...
6. Place Sample.htm file & Sample_folder into Commercial1031/public_html
folder.
7. Change the names of both Sample.html & Sample_folder =to= Index.html &
index_folder
8. Go to browser and... NO PICTURES AND THE FONT IS DIFFERENT.- HELP? WHY?

The problem is in step 7.

Changing the name of the Sample.html file is OK, but the link *inside*
the file is still to Sample_folder.

You can use Word or a text editor to edit the html file to point to
index_foldern rather than Sample_folder.

Not sure why you're getting a different font. Do you have your browser
set to override the style sheet?
