Saving HTML from Word

  • When saving Word documents as HTML, for publishing as web pages, you will notice the file sizes are quite large. This is because Word inserts a lot of Word-specific tags in the HTML source, to enable the document to be re-opened in Word for editing. To remove these Word-specific tags (and make the resulting HTML file size much smaller), open the file in Word, then go to the ‘File’ menu > ‘Save As’. Type the file name you wish to save the file as, and for the ‘Save as type’ select ‘Web Page, Filtered’. Click ‘Save’.

Hi there. If this is the first time you are posting a comment it will not appear immediately, but needs to be approved. This is necessary in order to combat comment spam. However, once you have submitted a comment (which is subsequently approved) you do not need to go through this process again - the site remembers who you are and auto-approves your comments. Nifty eh? Anyway, sorry about the inconvenience that this may cause for your first comment post.
