I am working on a webpage for our car club and a column by a member that would normally have gone in our printed newsletter now needs to be on this website. It's done in Word, in 2 and 3 columns and contains graphics. I've been trying to figure out how to put it on the website, saving it as a web page ruins the formatting on it, some of the graphics are missing, some of the boxes are moved around, some text overlaps other text. How do I do this?
Thanks

Saving a Word document as a web page is a no-no. It adds so much unnecessary HTML and other bloat that makes it unmanageable. I recommend you recreate the page from scratch by hand or use Dreamweaver or even FrontPage. The HTML code that Word generates is a train wreck and it's not standard.

Alternatively provide it as a download on your site so that when opened it opens in the browser window.
Thanks for your reply. The author of the article re-did it for me in plain text and I added the tags and away we went. It's not as fancy looking as the original that we put in our newsletter, but in reality it didnt need to be.
I have Arachnophilia, a freebie, but not Dreamweaver or Front Page. Are there any freebies that are particularly good? I dont need to do clever stuff very often, but this time it would have been handy to know how!
Thanks

DreamWeaver has a free trial, but if you're going to be working with web pages I recommend you learn to code the old fashioned way, via text editor like Notepad or something of the like. ALSO, if you sign up for the Microsoft Beta of the Microsoft Visual .NET studio, that works like a dream too.

You can just search download.com/google.com for "web editor", "html editor", "html gui", "html ide"
I've only tried a few free ones, but none compare to Dreamweaver or GoLive.

Thanks! I have often wondered how that was done...and it is so easy!! I learn something every day!
A word document saved as .html page results in a 500kb file.
Make this in any other html editor and the page results in a 100kb file.
It is amazing how many useless and none-working code is inserted to try and emulate the design.
Create a template and include the txt as a ServerSideInclude file.txt and have your stylesheet.css mark it up. And offer the .doc as alternative for download.
That would be the quickest way for a non-dynamic site to include text from third parties.
