How to Save a Word Document to HTML Format

Microsoft Word allows you to save files in a variety of file formats, including Portable Document Format (PDF), Rich Text Formatting (RTF), Microsoft Works and HTML. Saving a file in HTML format is useful for designing Web pages in Word before inserting the file into a program such as Adobe Dreamweaver or Microsoft FrontPage. HTML is also a format that anyone can view using a text editor.
