All I want to do is create a few pages with photos on them, and an index page with links to the other pages. Maybe six or seven pages total. I hate to spend lots of money for a web page authoring program to that. Will Word 2000 "Save As Web Page" or web page wizard do this without too many "issues"? Ed

(Note: after resizing these images, they should be placed in the image or other directory, which parallels your websites directory structure. 4) after inserting images (or Hyperlinks to images) and adding the text you desire? Save as Web page. Additionally it's a good idea to utilize the HTML cleaner for Word 2000 to removed much of the unnecessary bloat. Please proceed thus far and respond if you need further assistance and/or problems arise.
