SUMMARY
Internet Assistant adds HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) authoring features to Microsoft Word versions 6.x and 7.x. After you install this add-in, you can save Word documents in HTML format, open and preview HTML documents, create a new HTML document using the HTML template Internet Assistant provides, and insert hyperlinks in your documents.

NOTE: Microsoft Word 97 for Windows and Microsoft Word 98 Macintosh Edition have HTML authoring features built-in. So, if you have one of these versions of Word, you do not need to install Internet Assistant. If you have these programs installed, Internet Assistant Setup will return an error.

To install Internet Assistant, download the version of Internet Assistant designed for the version of Word you are using; the versions of Internet Assistant are described in the "Download Internet Assistant" section of this article. (For instructions on downloading these files, see the "Downloading Instructions" section of this article.)

With Internet Assistant 2.0 or later, you can:


 * Insert background pictures by clicking the Background And Links command on the Format menu. If you want your background image to be a watermark image instead, click to select the Do Not Scroll The Background Picture option in the Background And Links dialog box.
 * Insert background sounds by clicking the Background Sound command on the Format menu.

With Internet Assistant 1.0 or later, you can:


 * Create forms in your HTML documents (to do this, click Form Field on the Insert menu).
 * Quickly view or edit the HTML code in your document by clicking HTML Source on the View menu. Then, to return to Normal view, just click the Close button.

Can't Insert Images in a Word Document
This problem occurs when you have installed Microsoft Office 97 (or an Office 97 program, such as Microsoft Publisher 97), Microsoft Image Composer 1.x, or Picture It! 2.0, after you've installed the Internet Assistant 2.03z add-in for Word for Windows 95 (version 7.0 or 7.0a) or Word 6.0 for Windows NT. These newer Office programs install updated graphics filters for importing GIF and JPEG images. These filters are incompatible with Internet Assistant 2.03z and earlier. To insert images in your Word documents, install Internet Assistant 2.04z.

Can't Specify Characters Above U.S. ASCII 128 (non-English version of Word)

 * 1) Open an HTML document based on the HTML.dot template.
 * 2) On the Tools menu, click Macros.
 * 3) Click the HTMLSetOutput macro, and then click Run.
 * 4) Select the options you want, and then click OK.
