Critical Steps To Online Success - Create Simple Web Pages With Ms Word

You can generate web pages using MS Word.


You don't need to know any HTML. It's quite simple for a basic web page and they work really well.

Here's what you do…

Open a Word Document and Click "Insert" and then "Text Box". A light grey box will appear on the page and your cursor will become a little plus sign. Just position the Cursor inside the gray box and drag it to draw a box the size you want---say 6 inches (15 cm) square.

Now click on the box and center it using the centering icon on the tool bar.

Now just start typing inside that box.

Some useful tips:

* Don't use the Tab key.

* Don't use quotation marks

* Use italics where you normally use quotes

* Don't enter a string of spaces.

You might type something like this:

__________________________________________

THIS IS YOUR DOWNLOAD PAGE

Welcome

Just click the link below and your FREE BOOK will open

Then just save it to your Hard Drive

Click Here-This is your Download Link

___________________________________________

Then just Center the text; use Verdana Bold font (you get less issues for your visitors with a standard font); resize the various lines and do the text in different websafe colors…red,black and blue.

Now you want to highlight the line " Click Here-This is your Download Link", right click and select "Hyperlink". The Hyperlink dialogue box will open and you type your webpage address into the "Address Box" at the bottom.

I find it's best to enter the full web address:

Eg: "http://mywebsiteURL.com/downloadpage"

It can really be just that simple!

Click "File" and "Save As" and save it as a HTML file (Word gives you this option).

NOTE: Don't select "Save as Webpage". This creates a ".mht" file which won't work so well for you.

You can call it "DownloadPage.html" or whatever else makes you happy.

Now you want to check that everything is working fine so go to Windows Explorer and double click on your HTML file and it will open as a web page.

If the Text Box isn't centered then go back to the Word Doc and center it again and re-save as HTML.

For a Squeeze Page you can Google "Free Squeeze Page Software" and get a program that will produce a nice professional looking "Squeeze Page" for you. You can then open the HTML file in Microsoft Office Word (just "Right Click" the file and select "open with" and then "Microsoft Office Word") and edit it from there. Or you can get some Free webpage "templates" and edit them in Word or a simple HTML editor (again there's lots of free ones out there).

If you use Word to edit you just re-save the file as an HTML file (not a Word file) and you're ready to rock and roll.

Don't forget when you upload your files to also upload the "Files Folder" that was created when you saved your Word Doc as a HTML file. If you called your file "DownloadPage.html" then the folder will be called "DownloadPage_files".

Keep on winning
