How do I save as a html document?

Hi Bob,

May I jump in here to ask a related question? Is there a way to make a macro
or shortcut button for "Save As web page (html)"? I use this command a lot,
and it was easy to access from the keyboard with Word 2003. Using Word 2007,
it seems to require a lot of mouse work to get to this command. I tried
recording a macro, but the macro is too specific, and contains the particular
file folder, file name etc that I used when recording the macro.

Thanks
Wendell

Assign this to a keyboard shortcut:

Sub SaveAsWebPage()
Dim dlg As Dialog
Set dlg = Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs)
dlg.Format = wdFormatHTML
dlg.Show
Set dlg = Nothing
End Sub

If you want the filtered HTML version, replace wdFormatHTML with
wdFormatFilteredHTML.

Thanks Suzanne, but what is the difference with Save AS web page, web page
filtered and single file?

Save as Web Page saves the document as an .htm file, preserving all the
formatting of the Word document so that, if desired, it can be resaved as a
..doc file without losing formatting. "Web Page, Filtered" also saves as .htm
but removes some of the formatting data for a more efficient Web page. It is
still, I am reliably informed, extremely bloated and ugly HTML, however.

Both of those file types save illustrations as separate, linked files. This
can be extremely useful if you are trying to extract pasted graphics as
separate files in JPG or GIF format. "Single File Web Page" uses the .mht
format which, as I understand it, somehow embeds the graphics in the file
itself (just as the Word document does).

Coincidence that I was just playing with these, since Word's Help said
nothing. While it is likely true that "Web Page, Filtered" is also
considered ugly, it DOES significantly reduce the weight (size) of the
resulting HTM document, compared to the simple 'save as web page". In my
case, the non-filtered file was 77K, filtered was 28K (and if I hand code a
really stripped version, it would be around 16K).
