I hope this is the right newsgroup to post this to.

I need to open some html files into Word so that I can save them as Word
files. It is probably very simple but I am stuck.

Any help wouldbe greatly appreciated.

Have you tried just opening them? This should work in Word 2000 and above
(and possibly Word 97 as well).

Hi Suzanne,

I tried this at first and it just opened the page into Frontpage - from
trying to open it from within Word. However I just tried it again with a
different page and it worked fine - asking me initially if I wanted to make
Word my default html editor and then after I said yes opening the file for
editing within Word.

Thanks for the help.

Ah, yes, if you let FrontPage become your default HTML editor, then it will
get the nod if you double-click on a file in Windows Explorer. But if you
open any file through Word's File Open dialog, Word asserts itself and tries
to open it (even if it's a PDF, Zip file, graphic, or other non-Word
format).

When I initially tried to open an html file it was from within Word's File
Open dialog, not Windows Explorer, and it loaded it into Frontpage instead
having automatically started it and without having queried me about my
preference. My guess is that this happened because the page had been
designed in Frontpage originally.
 
Very likely. I've only recently acquired FP and haven't yet had much
occasion to work back and forth between Word and FP on HTML docs.
