I have some general newbie-type questions, and I don't see the answer to
them in the on-line help, and when I went to support.microsoft.com and used
their search engine, I got no responses.
Specifically, I wanted to change my file that was called index.htm, but
wanted to save the original, in case I messed up.
When I changed the file name, I got the message,
"Some of the files in this Web page aren't in the expected location. Do
yo want to download them anyway? If you'r sure the web page is from a
trusted source, click Yes."
I assume this is becuase I had a graphic inserted into the file, which was
in folder index_files.
So, two questions:
1) I don't get what's going on. If I have two files, both pointing to the
same graphic in index_files, what's wrong with that?
2) Where can I get some info on using the microsoft site to answer this
question myself? It seems like this is basic info, that should be in the
Help file, or on the MS website, no?

It's the default web page visitors see when they come to your
site and doesn't have to be asked for; sort of a default.

I want to use Word to modify index.htm, which is saved on my local hard
drive. when I'm done, I'll ftp it to the server, along with index_files
subdirectory, which contains a graphic that is inserted in index.htm.
I want to keep a copy of the original, in case I muck up the changes. I'm
just learning here.
But when I rename the file on my local drive called "index.htm" I get the
error message listed above. (some of the files aren't in the expected
location...)
I don't really understand what's going on - it seems like when I rename the
original file, or copy the original file, I should have two .htm files both
with a graphic in the index_files subdirectory, but instead, I get an error
message, and my index.htm file does not display the graphic, I only see a
placeholder, and have to click on the place holder to see the graphic.
I'm thinking that maybe Word wants to see the graphic not in the index_files
subdirectory, but in a subdirectory that is named whatever the new filename
is that I've created? when does that change take place? Does it happen
when I rename a file in the Explorer window?
What I *really* want is something that exlains what Word is doing in the
back ground, so I can understand how to work with my web files.
Maybe the short-term solution is not to copy the index.htm file, but to copy
the directory that it is in?
I hope this is a clearer explanation of the issue.

I still can't get a good feel for what you have, but I think I
might have an explanation that might help you figure things out.
Do you know what a Relative Link is? This is, I think, where you
are getting the problems from. You should be using Relative
links for transportable files, such as moving them from your
computer to a web site server.
And of course, if you've renamed a file, it can't be found,
either, until you make the name in index.htm call for the
correctly named graphic file.
If I've completely missed the boat, let me know! I'll try again

The simpliest solution is to NOT use Word to rename your back-up file.
Rather, rename the file from either Windows Explorer or My Computer.
A better solution is to NOT use Word at all when creating or editing web
pages.

That wont' really be the "solution", but it is good advice.
Although it will do it, Word wasn't really intended for writing
web sites. After you've figured out your presen tproblem, that's
likely the next direction to look in. There are some good ones
out there that will do what you want; nvu.com is one of them; VG
for newbies.
