How to save Word documents as HTML to be viewed in Firefox?

Question

I'm in need for saving a Word document as HTML. It has some background images, other images, texts, ...It opens correctly in Internet Explorer, but how can I save a word doc as HTML so that Firefox and other current browsers render it correctly? All images are missing in the document. I looked through the generated html document, but the paths for the images appear to be correct. Any idea? Things like "Don't save docs as html" won't be helpful here. To make myself clear, the normal "Save as HTML" doesn't cut it, the result is broken in any browser other than Internet Explorer. What I'm using is Word 2010 and Firefox 4. I also tried rendering it in the latest Chrome version, which failed as well. I used different compatibility settings for saving as html, it did not help.

Answer 1

Have you tried saving the document as Web Page, filtered?

I tried saving a document with multiple images and internal links and it worked fine in the latest version of Chrome and Firefox 4.7.

According to Microsoft support, using this file format is the best bet. The following is also from Microsoft support:

To save document properties and more Word information with the webpage, choose the Single File Web Page type. But your file will be larger—almost 10 times larger.

To save pictures in a separate folder from the text part of the webpage, choose the Web Page type. When you post the webpage to a website, post the pictures folder, too.

Hope this helps.
