Don't. The result will be horrible. Search Google for 'Free Website builder'
for thousands of better, free alternatives.

I used Word for making a webpage that was obviously just text (with a few photo hyperlinks in there) and it was fine. Though I
didn't use any margins or other space wasting appearance pleasing things. I just wanted to get the maximum info in the minimum
amount of pages. You just type it up, save as Web page. The end. Seemed fine. But like I said it was just a typed up page.
Nothing more. It was exceedingly bland....lol.
 
But when it is uploaded to a website and then viewed by someone from a web
browser, how did it look? I can make a web page in Word that looks great if
it is opened in Word, but as a real web page...

Although considerably cleaner than it used to be, the HTML code is still
cluttered with MSO style definitions and such. I strongly support Terry's
reply in that the OP shouldn't use Word for such purposes.

Microsoft Visual Web Developer is free for personal use
(http://www.microsoft.com/express/vwd/) and can be used to create things
from simple HTML pages to pretty complex ASP.Net websites.

If yes then how?

It depends on how many people you want to see it.

If you make a web page for 10 people to look at, you can just as easily sent a
Word document to them by snail mail or e-mail.

But if 10000 or more are going to look at it, it's much easier to make a web
page.
 
It seemed to look just like it did in Word. Some of the fonts were a little bigger but generally very close. My standards are low
here I think....lol.
