Hi I am using the XL program. I am trying with all my might to put together a small website for a non profit car club and am being met with continual unsurmountable problems for me.
Example in Chapter 16 on page 3 it states that all I have to do save a writer document as a web page is go to Save as--> from file menu and be sure to specify where you want to save it of course (and specify HTML document. Well that's OK but when I try a pop up says I can't save certain things this way and they are right. If I click yes it loses all of my graphics and all I have left is the text and a bunch of gobbledygook where the graphics used to be and it will scatter the web page into many different pages. If I click no all the document transfers OK but I don't have a HTML file to work with I am exactly where I started from. Is there a way around this? I can't find one after 4 weeks of struggle. This kind of thing goes on throughout the instructions, it says to do it this way and the program won't I am beginning to wonder if I am ever going to get this site done as I am still sitting on the same step now for over 2-1/2 months, or if OpenOffice really will allow me to put together a website and get it on line. Am I using the wrong program because the directions say plain and simple that OpenOffice will do this very easily. I have the web pages mostly finished but I cannot get them into a HTML file format in order to proceed with my project. HELP!!!!!!!! Lots of it please. Also is there a way to get embedded music into a web page? I think I might be able to do this but I can't get anything into my "gallery" in order to draw this information from. How ya do this? I got a graphic into the file OK with drag and drop but can't get it out. I used drag and drop on a single song from the song list in Windows Media Player and it looked like it was going over but when it got there I got, now get this, 145,445 pages of HTML language on all pages and now I cannot do anything with the program at all. This happened several times so I quit. Is there any help out there for somebody who is not a computer guru? Many thanks. DON I
