Good Evening,

I have Microsoft Word2002 on my XP computer and I have
created WebPages using this Word. They were 'saved as'
WebPages in a folder in My Documents named My WebPage,
and subsequently uploaded via WS_FTP Pro.
The web pages were ..... index.htm, page2.htm, page3.htm,
etc.... up to page30.htm, and likewise my images were
index_files, page2_files, page3_files etc up to
page30_files.
The folder My WebPage was uploaded to the following site,
namely:

http://website.lineone.net/~peter.bond/

I transferred (uploaded) all the pages to the Host using
WS_FTP Pro and they are now on the internet, however, the
problem is that the images do not appear for viewing, yes
they can be seen on my computer browser but not on the
internet.
On checking the source coding it is noticed that the
image src files are shown like ...
src="file:///C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\Peter%
20W.Bond\My%20Documents\My%
20WebPage\page2_files\image004.jpg"
which I understand is the part which sits on my computer,
and should probably have been coded as something like ...
http://website.lineone.net/~peter.bond/page2_files/image00
4.jpg or maybe ../page2_files/image004.jpg, I am not
sure.!!!!
Anyway, what I would like to know is why does Word2002
save the images like this? and how can I correct this
matter without having to edit all the coding, can Word
2002 do this correctly, if so, how?, what 'boxes' do I
need to tick?.
It is awful tedious producing webpages and very
frustrating not being able to see the images on-line.
I trust you can help me with this problem, I currently
have just a few days left evaluating WS-FTP before I have
to purchase their service, and being a retired pensioner
doing genealogy, I would like to sort this problem out
before being committed.
Can someone please send me an Email with a solution asap.
Regards

Hi Peter,

I understand that you are unable to view the images on
your HTML page
http://website.lineone.net/~peter.bond/page2.htm created
using Microsoft Word.

I need to inform you that word is a word processing
application used to create documents, it is just has an
added feature wherein you can convert your document files
(.DOC) into HTML pages.

In the process of conversion Word hard codes the image
path found on your local hard disk (C:\Documents and
Settings\PeterW.Bond\MyDocuments\MyWebPage\page2_files\ima
ge004.jpg). This is the reason you are able to view
images locally on your system and not on the Internet
when uploaded. You will have to manually change your
image paths to
(http://website.lineone.net/~peter.bond/page2_files/image0
04.jpg) and things will get straight.

I would recommend that you use HTML editing softwares
like Microsoft Frontpage to create HTML pages.

Thanks.
Sandy.
