If you have an existing Word 97 document, it can be converted to be read on the Internet. Word will convert the document to HTML, which is a series of "tags" placed around text to exhibit certain behaviors, such as color, bold, heading styles, and tables. Some examples are listed below:
| TAGS | RESULT |
| <bold>Hello there</bold> | Hello there |
| <font color="#AF0000">Hello there</font> | Hello there |
| <H1>Heading 1</H1> | Heading 1 |
| <LI>Hello there |
|
Fortunately, you don't have to be an HTML guru to make your documents ready for the Internet; Word will do the work for you. It is recommended that you first save your file as a Word file. Then, click on the File|Save as HTML... menu.
Word will warn you that some formatting may be lost when converting to HTML, primarily because certain formats in Word, such as outline format, certain graphics, and linked items, do not have HTML equivalents. Here is the resulting document. For a complete list from Microsoft on what will not be converted properly, click here.
There are some new buttons in the Standard toolbar, such as the Web Preview button 
and the Check Links
button.
