I am new at all of this. :D I am trying to do a web page and I am having so many problems with it. :confused: I created the page in Microsoft Word. I was told that I needed to save the file as index html. The problem that I'm having now is.......I don't know how to save the file as index html. :eek: Can someone please solve this problem for me? :( [/COLOR]

I have never and will never use MS Word for web development, but I would imagine it's just a matter of going to File > Save as and name it "index.html"

Welcome to the forums :)

It's better to use a text editor such as NotePad or WordPad for programming. You can also use more advanced programs such as HTML-Kit (www.htmlkit.com).

When you go to File | Save, you will get the following:

File Name: This is where you type Index.html
Save as Type: Make sure you select All files here

Otherwise, if you do not select All Files in your Save as Type then it will save the document as Index.html.txt, and it will not be an html file.

Cheers,
Jay

The work involved in converting the output from Word into a valid HTML document is about five times that of creating it from scratch in notepad. The only Microsoft program that comes even close to being able to create HTML is Frontpage.

Hey Tammy31558,
There is a teriffic HTML editor that is free. It is called Crimson Editor. Not only can you create your HTML pages, but you can ftp them to and from the server where they are stored. Here are several links....(I'm not sure why the first one is down at this time but the other two work).
