Here is the problem. I am so frustrated with this, it is beyond belief. I am hoping you can help.

I have a microsoft word document. It has five pictures in it.

I want to upload it to this free website server that I am using.

First off, I don't know how to make the word document the index page of my website, because to make it my index page, I have to give it a .html, or .htm ending, and that screws up the word format.

SOoooo.... I tried to convert the word document to a web page....to html. I did this, and uploaded it. But it refuses to show any pictures. When I convert it, it seems to store the picture files in a seperate folder.

What do I have to do to get this word document up on this website?

Please help.
 
In Word, click on File, then Save as HTML.
Simple enough, then it will store the entire contents in a folder, upload the contents to a folder on your server and check.
You may have to correct the URL of the images if you use a different folder name.
 
Sorry, I should have read your post better.
When you save the file, make sure that you save the file as index.html when you Save as HTML.
The next thing is your images.
You will have to open the html file and then you will be searching for this string src="
You can use Ctrl+F for the find feature, then make sure that the path to the image is correct. Word likes to use something like this ./files/image002.jpg
If you go thru the file and change those paths to the correct paths on your server, then they should show up.
Hope this helps.
