Saving documents for Internet, intranet, or Web use

Saving documents for Internet, intranet, or Web use

If you use Word to create Web pages to display in a Web browser (Web browser: Software that interprets HTML files, formats them into Web pages, and displays them. A Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, can follow hyperlinks, transfer files, and play sound or video files that are embedded in Web pages.), you can save documents in Web page format and publish them to a Web server (Web server: A computer that hosts Web pages and responds to requests from browsers. Also known as an HTTP server, a Web server stores files whose URLs begin with http://.). You can also save documents to an FTP (FTP: A communication protocol that makes it possible for a user to transfer files between remote locations on a network. This protocol also allows users to use FTP commands, such as listing files and folders, to work with files on a remote location.) site on the Internet (Internet: A worldwide network of thousands of smaller computer networks and millions of commercial, educational, government, and personal computers. The Internet is like an electronic city with virtual libraries, stores, art galleries, and so on.) (you must have an Internet account through an Internet service provider and permission to save documents on the FTP server) or to your company's intranet (intranet: A network within an organization that uses Internet technologies (such as the HTTP or FTP protocol). By using hyperlinks, you can explore objects, documents, pages, and other destinations on the intranet.).

Saving documents as XML files

Saving your documents as XML files makes them available to any programs that can read XML, not just Microsoft Office programs. This means that you can use a single source of your content in multiple ways simultaneously. For example, you can transform a single content source into both a Word document that is formatted for printing and into data that is processed.
