Really easy, actually :) Which version of Word are you using?
This may sound crazy but I have no idea what version of Word I am using. I hardly ever use Word but I do know how to use it. I am going to try it and see if it works. To upload the Word Webpage could I upload it via Frontpage??

People actually use WORD for making websites!!!

are you CRAZY!!!

I could go into the extremely long list on why doing html in MSW is just so wrong..or you could take my advice:

Do it in notepad, using w3c compliant HTML (to be friendly to everyone out there who don't actually use IE for web browsing - I guarrentee if you make a site designed to work in IE it will only work in IE properly (well, how IE "likes" to display it))

Best place to learn HTML?

http://www.w3schools.com

Also learn CSS, XHTML and javascript whilst you're at it :p

Actually, you can upload it right from Word, at least in Office XP Pro you can. I'm pretty sure Word 97 will do it too.

Webdesign software? God gave you some free when you were born, it's called your mind ;) And then you have to go out and find websites to get the ideas (i.e. templates ;) ) and then you use SciTE to make the site.
At least...that's how I'm doing it.

Now if you want to be lazy, get Frontpage 200x Express. It's one of the better frontpage products, because it doesn't have many features. Once you get into having extra features, Frontpage likes to stop being WYSIWYG and becomes more like What You See is Not What You're Going To Get No Matter How Hard You Try, Scream, Kick, Cry, Or Go Insane( WTSINWYGTGNMHHYTSKCOGI ).

Seriously now, if you have the skill, do it like the first paragraph. When you hand code the website and you know what you're doing then it becomes What You Read Is What You Get almost 100% of the time. It's usually painful, but if you code it right (CSS + PHP to make the site design as modular as possible ) it isn't so bad. At least it isn't as painful as dealing with Frontpage 200x, *shivers*.

Totally agree with you S Walch!! I am the Sys Admin @ an ISP and we do sites Etc. too!

If you are planning on taking this seriously then try out a demo of Dreamweaver or something like that..

As far as templates go: just go to any website you like the look of and choose the "View" button in IE then choose "Source". From there just copy and paste the code into your HTMl editor...

Don't completely rip them off, but take a look at the code.. Change a few things etc etc...

Take this code snippet:

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html
     PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
     "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css" type="text/css" />
<title></title>
</head>

<body>



</body>
</html>

Save it as an *.html file, and work from there. Whatsoever cometh from WYSIWYG tools is of the evil one.

I usually write websites on my webserver in Pico (a *nix text editor). The pages I've written were dynamic using PHP and MySql, so getting a decent WSIWYG editor to work prooperly for those pages is annoying. PHP rocks the cazbah. Although I do tend to use dream weaver to create a basic layout for the page, i.e. making a header and footer that is common between all pages.
