Word includes many features designed to make it work well with the Web. (Well, it included them starting with Word 2000 when Microsoft finally woke up to the Internet.) One such feature allows information to be saved in a Web-page format. This means you can create Web pages with Word, if desired.

Figure 1. The General tab of the Options dialog box.
Figure 2. The Fonts tab of the Web Options dialog box.
