ActiveX

andrew

I have no idea if I am in the right place for this!
When i create a web page in word and insert or create any
graphics, I cannot display on the web as the page contains
ActiveX functions.
Our server does not permit ActiveX
I have no idea how/why and documents I create contain any
ActiveX when all i am doing is inserting a bmp, jpeg or
gif or simply a text box!
I have searched my pc and have no activex anywhere on it.
can anyone help me?

OK, maybe I have the wrong approach, but my POV is that Word is absolutely
horrible for generating web pages. I can't tell you what this Active X
connection is about.

Because I don't know of any program that I consider well-behaved when it
comes to producing web pages, I produce my own web site (www.kimbawlion.com)
using only Notepad or a clone of it.

My advice, especially if you're doing a simple web page, is to find a page
on the web that's similar to what you want and use their page as a model.
With the page open in Internet Explorer, go to the View menu and choose
Source. This will show you the nuts and bolts of the page. You can then
replace their content with yours. It's a great way to start learning HTML.

Some tips: In HTML, almost everything starts with a tag, like this:
<tag>
and ends with a complementary tag, like this:
</tag>
(That slash indicates an end tag.)

Any web page has to start and end with these tags:
<html>
<body>
web page content goes here
</body>
</html>

A text box would be simulated with a one-row, one-cell table:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
textbox content goes here
</td>
</tr>
</table>

And a picture is inserted with an img tag (no end tag is required for this):
<img src="filename.jpg">

There's lots more details, but these basics will get you started on a simple
page, and there are lots of free HTML tutorials on the internet.
It's not all that hard once you get into it. Good luck!
