Can I Use Word to Write My Web Page

[Andy blunt]

Is there any way to create the web page with word? i am trying for it but not get the solution . please share your valuable feedbacks

[HTMLBasicTutor]

Yes you can but it puts out horrible pages. Bloated coding w/ MS/Word specific coding.

It would be better if you found a good WYSWYG editor or better yet learnt how to code (X)HTML yourself.

Hey html basic tutor Thanks for the suggestion . I will try over it . Mau be it will be useful.

May I suggest some plain text editors that help?

If you are on Windows, use Notepad++ comes with syntax highlighting and more other cool stuff. For Mac, get text-wrangler.

A free WYSIWYG editor would be compozer. Development stopped a few years back, but I heard that it is still useful.

You can also use MS front page but i think your should first learn the basic of css and html for web designing.

FrontPage is long gone. Microsoft has replaced it with Expression Web.

I use both Microsoft Word & Excel to create my webpages, I know the coding may be bloated as someone has already mentioned, but this is of no concern to me now.

My site is still in the development phase, so bloated coding does not concern me at the moment. Once I have tackled fixing all of my site's internal links, and created a site structure that I am satisfied with. Then I will find a good HTML Validator and clean up my bloated coding.

Much Thanks,

Why? Seriosuly, WHY?


Isn't it much more convenient to code in a plain text editor that doesn't bloat your code when saving and has syntax highlighting + tons and tons of plugins?

You can still build simple clean sites via HTML in word. The only thing is you could could lose SEO if you are not building your site with this in mind. Most smaller sites are built on a top of a CMS (WordPress, Joomala,etc..) which allows you to keep your SEO. Plus there are thousands of widgets and pluggings pre built by others that you can tweak to work with your site. Not to mention the thousands of prebuilt themes already to go.

You *can* build a site in MS Word in the same sense you *can* use a cheap pocket knife as a can opener. Having tried both at one time or other, I recommend neither. There are better tools for the job.

Actually it is more convenient for me to use both Microsoft Word and Excel, i am very familiar with both programs, I use both programs very often for many different tasks.

Hence, the familiarity and habit of using those programs by default is more convenient for me, at least in my case anyways.

Much Thanks,

Understandable, but there is still the issue that you have to clean up the code afterwards. Seems that the convenient factor makes you do more work...

Searched through the web and found that Microsoft offers a free suite for website creation, called Webmatrix.
I haven't tried it out yet, but you might get something convenient that doesn't make you do more

I don't think that making a web page with MS Word would be a good idea. Investing in a good WYSIWYG editor like Dreamweaver would be the best thing to do since it's more powerful and you can do lots of things with it. However, if you don't want to pay then Kompozer would be a good and solid option.

Again: Dreamweaver is a toll for professionals, not for beginners. True, a beginner CAN make a website with it, but the code will not be very good. Would be much mire better to learn HTML/CSS using a plane text editor.

Yes, you can write on word and take advantage of its capability to check grammars and spellings.

Though, you will need to paste it to notepad and copy it again to remove any word formatting before you paste it on your web page.

Grammar and spelling check can be easily integrated into most plain text editors.

Notepad++ has a plugin
Textwranger has Integrated OS X spell checker
NetBeans has a plugin
Eclipse has one too

and these tools are for free... so the paid ones got to have one too

[blogfreakz]

Well technically you can use Word basically as a web page editor but be ready for some broken paragraphs, bullets, etc. etc. it is a head ache when you look at the source code when it goes live on the browser and put it back on the Word.

[teguhyuliantos]

For the better results and easy to use, I think Notepad is the best solutions for you. Some designer have been using this method to convert their code using Notepad.

A designer worth his salt uses a plain-text-editor (or IDE).

[Arshad1]

buddy you can use notepad, which is more compatible than any other document. and most of the coding can e done on note pad irrespective of language platform
