What an excellent way to make all of your resources available to your
students in their own homes! What function do you use in Microsoft Office to
convert a Word doc into a webpage? I have not heard of this function. I can
create pages in Dreamweaver, but it would be much more convenient to convert
files directly in Office. Great work.
