How to create a web page/web site

Before you start...I assume that you are familiar with: Windows operating system i.e.

you know how to start programs, how to create, save and read files, where files are stored etc.

Microsoft Word i.e.: you know the menu structure, you know how to highlight text, copy and paste, you know the basics of formatting (choosing font) you know how to create a table you know how to insert graphic files.

It is really easy

Creating a single web page with Word is almost as easy as creating a CV or a meeting agenda. It is only slightly more difficult to build a web site.

To show you how helpful the software is in creating both simple and complex web pages I will start with a ready-made template for a single page and a web page wizard to create a more refined web site.

Finally, you will build a mature web site devoted to a famous Dutch painter.

Single page (1)Choose File|New on the menu bar.

Single page (2)Select Web Page template from General tab if you want

to create the page from scratch or...

(to other web pages in our site or other sites)internal hyperlinks

(to some elements on the same page)

If you want to link a content list item to one of the sections you have to create ‘a bookmark’ first.
