Hi "befuddled"
I've also noticed that when people send me word docs with
graphics, the graphics don't show when I open the attachments in word. How
do I fix this?
In Word | Preferences | View, make sure Drawings is checked and Image
Placeholders is unchecked.
Re the webpage problems:
I have webpages that I made in Word for Windows (office xp for students and
teachers version 2002) but when I edit them and then preview them in word for
mac(office for mac for students and teachers 2004), I get weird code on the
top of the page and the graphics (jpegs and gifs) disappear (this happens
when you view the page in Safari or Firefox and in IE the whole page is now
gibberish).
First of all, when a Word doc is saved as a webpage, in HTML format, any
graphics are extracted and put in a supporting folder, with links to the
folder in the HTML. So graphics will not show up unless Word has access to
that folder, and/or unless that folder is uploaded to the web along with the
page.
For the other stuff, I think more detail about exactly what you are doing is
needed.
Re the weird code--is it showing up in Word, or in Safari? Word should open
an HTML doc and make it look pretty much like a Word doc in Online Layout
View. When you say edit the pages, are you opening these in Online Layout
view and using Word's tools to change the text or formatting?
If Safari is giving you weird code when showing these pages, then there is
probably a flaw in the HTML so that Safari can't understand it. If you
already put the webpage online, post the link.
The bottom line, really, is that Word sucks for creating webpages, and you'd
be better off using something like Nvu, a free program that is easy to use
and doesn't require you to know anything about HTML, but would make it much
easier for others to help you fix problems.
