How To Set up Word Documents to be used with WordToWeb

WordToWeb is designed so it can be used productively with virtually any existing Word document—without the need to modify the document. However, if you are creating new material for use both as paper documentation and HTML pages, there are a few techniques you can use to make sure that you will be able to get the greatest benefit from using WordToWeb:

• Use the standard heading styles (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.) in your documents. WordToWeb uses these heading styles to create a table of contents for your HTML publication. For more information, please see Working with Word Heading Styles in Chapter 3, as well as your Microsoft Word documentation.
• When you make a reference to another portion of your document, use Word's cross-reference feature rather than simply typing the reference manually. If you use a cross-reference, WordToWeb will automatically create a hypertext link for you—so the reader can access the related information simply by clicking the link. For details, please see Cross-references in Chapter 3.
• Learn to use and take advantage of Word features such as styles, shading and the Word highlighter tool. WordToWeb includes a powerful translation tool which lets you specify how particular elements in your Word document are converted to HTML. For more on this feature, see Specifying Word to HTML Translations in Chapter 2.
