HTML is the file format that is most compatible within WebCT, as well as the World Wide Web in general. You can use Microsoft Word to simply and swiftly create your own HTML files, with or without images.

Preparing Your Word Document for Web Publishing
Before you convert your Microsoft Word document into an HTML file for online presentation, you must make sure that the document is exactly the way you want it to look: you must proofread your text for errors, set the title of the document, and insert images you would like to use. As you complete each step, you should save your document to avoid losing your work. Every web page should have a title, which will appear in the title bar of the web browser when the document is being viewed.

To set the title of your document:
1. On the toolbar at the top of the window, go to File > Properties. You may have to click on the double arrows at the bottom of the File drop-down menu to expand the menu and see the Properties option.
2. Click on Properties. The file Properties dialog box will appear.
3. Choose the Summary tab.
4. In the Title area of the Summary tab, type in the title of your presentation.
5. Click OK.
You can enhance your presentation by adding images that are relevant to the information you are presenting; in some cases, images may be an essential part.
