I used Word to design my site, now have problems

I have a website up and was trying to change it. I wanted to add a side menu. I did this on Word, then saved it as html..then tried to post it in my bravenet files. (I have done this before in doing a simple page, and with a few changes it usually works.)
So it didn't work and I looked at the html text...near the bottom it said something like..your browser does not support page frames...or something like that.

If anyone can help me get this up today, I would really appreciate it. I usually can only do the wysiwyg kind of stuff.

Thanks and blessings, Barb

Word is a word processor. Trying to use it for another purpose altogether will usually result in problems. If you must use a Microsoft product, try Notepad. Or even Frontpage.

Thanks. I have used it for so many pages in the past that I do like to use it. It is just that I added that side frame for a menu...that is why it didn't work.

I am still looking for someone to help me make this work, if possible.

Blessings, Barb

Re: Re: I used Word to design my site, now have problems

The "save as html" option in Word is designed to create a web version of a printed document while preserving the print format. This results in code which is very difficult to untangle if you have problems.

If you must create a framed layout (there are lots of reasons why this is a bad idea) then you will need to create a third page to link the other two together. Word is not designed to do this and you will need to use Notepad and hand code the html.

Okay thanks everyone,

I am not capable of all that..I will have to hire someone to do it for me.

Thanks, and blessings. Barb

Peter...I forgot to thank you properly for explaining the Word Document being saved as html. I guess because I have tried to teach all this to myself, that when I came across the words..save as html or save as webpage..I just assumed I could build a whole webpage with it. I was able to do that for a simple page though..it was nice and easy.

Actually this really did help me..so again thanks for that.

Also you said not recommending the frame...I used the frame to make a side menu. I really like the side menu...and want to use that. What would you suggest for a side menu ?

I don't think I am capable of doing this anyway, but would like your thoughts just in case I get stubborn and decide to take the time to try it...hahahaa

Thanks and blessings, Barb
