Word is terrible for producing proper html. You can try 'filtered html' as a an output. There should be an .html file and any associated images. The .html file goes into the BT_Docs directory and so do any images that the html file needs. If the images are in a sub folder, that goes in BT_Docs as well. Cheers, Alan

ok cool, i have tried the exported html files on a browser and they run fine with the images shown, so everything from the exported word file go,s into the docs folder. i will also try the 'filtered html' see if that helps. thanks dude

It could be the way you are copying in the images maybe? When I do it, I do it like this: When you copy files into an xcode project, a box pops up to choose options for adding the files. Drag your html file into the root of BT_Docs, and when you do, tick 'Create groups for any added folders'. Separately, for images, drag in the folder with images, but this time tick 'Create folder references for any added folders'. I have never had the problem you are facing and this recipe works fine for me. I t could also be that Word html isn't liked by safari, but I don't know as I wouldn't use Word to generate html. I sometimes drop Word existing content into notepad to make it plain text, then copy it into Kompozer and format it there. Kompozer is a cheap freebie html editor that works OK. Cheers, Alan
