Description
You could put Microsoft Word documents up in Vista, but that requires students to download and open them in Word. But MS Office is expensive and most students still don't know about free alternatives like Open Office or Google Docs. A better way is to convert your Word documents to web pages so they can be opened directly by the browser. Microsoft Word is a tool most people are already familiar with, and it can be used to build web pages quite easily. Unfortunately, the standard "Save as Web Page..." method is to be avoided. Why? Microsoft's default method embeds lots of junk into the HTML code which increases file size and load time. While such documents look good in Internet Explorer for Windows, they look terrible on other browsers such as Firefox or on the Mac. Change just a few settings and you can build universal, accessible, clean, and easy web pages. Learn how to format your pages, create links, add graphics, and save your Word documents as web pages a better way.
