MHT files (also known as MHTML, or Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension HTML files) are archival website files that contain embedded pictures, links and other elements found on the original website. Instead of the website file linking to elements on a server, the website contains all of the elements it needs to display the website correctly in your computer's Internet browser. You can also view and convert MHT files in Microsoft Word 2002 or later. Once they are converted, you can edit and save the files as Word documents.
Step 1
Open Microsoft Word 2002 or later by clicking on the program's icon on your computer's desktop. This applies to both Windows and Mac platforms.
