Use Word to create your document (report). Once the document
is complete click File/

will create a file called project1.htm and if there are pictures in your
document it will also create a folder called project1_files.
Creating Webpages in Office
2000/XP
Let us assume that the document that you are creating is to
be called project1.htm. This document contains pictures and other
illustrations. These pictures will be saved as separate GIF or JPEG image
files. In order for your web page to be complete, these image files should also
be posted.
When you save this document as a webpage (File/Save as
Webpage), Office 2000 will create project1.htm and a folder called project1_files
(this folder will contain images and other supporting files). This
folder has to be posted along with the htm
document. The URL to this page will be -
http://www.student.gsu.edu/~userid/project1.htm (NOTE: Your file names should NOT contain any spaces)
Access the FTP site by entering ftp://ftp.student.gsu.edu/
Click OK to bypass the warning message.
Click File/Login As and then enter your user name and
password.
Once logged in, double click on public_html
folder. This folder will contain the files that you want to be available on the
web.
NOTE: If you are unable to access your server, try resetting your password. Doing this usually resolves most access issues. Also, some firewalls at business locations prohibit you from transferring files. If this is an issue, try doing this from a home computer.
Once you are logged in, you can copy the files/folders that you are trying to post to the server from Windows Explorer / My Computer and paste them into the FTP window. Your files are now published to the web.
