Troubleshoot Web page options

1. Click File, and then click Save as Web Page.
2. In the Save as type list, select Single File Web Page.
3. In the File name box, type a name for the file, and then click Save.

1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. Click the General tab, and then click Web Options.
3. Click the Files tab.
4. Under File names and locations, clear the Organize supporting files in a folder check box.

By default, when you save your file as a Web page, all supporting files— such as bullets, background textures, and graphics— are organized in a supporting folder. The name of the supporting folder is the name of the Web page plus an underscore (_), a period (.), or a hyphen (-), and the word "files." The word "files" will appear in the language of the version of Microsoft Office that was used to save the file as a Web page. For example, suppose you use the Dutch language version of Office to save a file named Page1 as a Web page. The default name of the supporting folder would be Page1_bestanden.

Note  If you save your Web page with a short file name (maximum of eight characters, plus a three-character file extension) by clearing the Use long file names whenever possible check box in the Web Options dialog box, the supporting folder is the name of the Web page without the word "files."

The default name for the Web page supporting folder in each language version of Office

A red X indicates a missing graphic. If you move, copy, or rename your Web page, any links to supporting files— such as bullets, background textures, and graphics— might be broken. To automatically make the paths for the linked pictures and hyperlinks relative when you save a Web page, do the following:

1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. Click the General tab, and then click Web Options.
3. Click the Files tab.
4. Under File names and locations, select the Update links on save check box.

If you save a file as a Web page and then view the Web page in a browser that supports graphics in Vector Markup Language (VML) format, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 with Service Pack 2 (SP2) or later, make sure that VML is turned on in your Web option settings in order to see the graphics on your Web page. If you view the Web page in a browser that does not recognize graphics in VML format (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or earlier) and your graphics aren't showing, check to make sure that you have set the correct Web option by doing the following:

1. Open your Web page in the Office application that you used to create it.
2. On the Tools menu, click Options.
3. Click the General tab, and then click Web Options.
4. Click the Browsers tab.
5. Under Options, clear the Rely on VML for displaying graphics in browsers check box, and then save your Web page again.

Although all browsers support the same language (HTML), there are some differences among browsers. Some support different versions of HTML and different HTML extensions. Custom options can be set in browsers, such as the default text and background colors, and whether or not graphics are displayed. Consider testing your page in different browsers— some of which are available for downloading on the Web— and with different monitor settings, to make sure that all of your page elements appear.

If you link a graphic to a Web page, and the graphic format isn't supported by your browser, your graphics won't be visible. Make sure that the linked picture is in a graphic format that is compatible with your browser. The .jpg and .gif graphic formats are compatible with most browsers.

If you make a visual change to a linked picture, such as adding a shadow, border or outline, fill, or contrast or brightness adjustment, then your Office application will create another picture with those changes for displaying in a Web page. When you view the Web page in Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or earlier, the picture will appear with the changes, but the link to the original picture will be broken. To fix the link:

1. Select the picture.

2. On the Picture toolbar, click Reset Picture.

Graphics and text can wrap differently, depending on the video resolution (the size of the screen elements relative to the screen size). The screen size you specify can affect the size and layout of images on a Web page and the image of gradient page backgrounds.

Check the screen size settings on your computer

If your graphics and text look different from what you expect, change the screen size settings by doing the following:

1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. Click the General tab, and then click Web Options.
3. Click the Pictures tab.
4. Under Target monitor, select a screen size in the Screen size box.

Although all Web browsers support the same language (HTML), there are some differences among browsers. Some support different versions of HTML and different HTML extensions. In addition, users can set custom options in browsers, such as the default text and background colors, and whether or not graphics are displayed. Consider testing your page in different browsers— some of which are available for downloading on the Web— and with different monitor settings to make sure all of your page elements appear.
