This article describe what the Microsoft Word Web Archive Converter is and how to use it.

The Microsoft Word Web Archive Converter lets you open documents that have been packaged as Web archives in Microsoft Word 2000. You can then work with the document in Word as you do with any other document and save it again as a Web page.

For more information about saving your Word document as a Web page, click Microsoft Word Help on the Help menu, type save as Web page in the Office Assistant or the Answer Wizard, and then click Search to view the topics returned.

A Web archive file allows you to package a Web page and its supporting files into a single file. A Web archive file has the .mht extension and does not make changes to the original Web page. You can use Web archive files to keep track of supporting files. Or you can send an entire Web page with all its supporting files packaged as a Web archive file in an e-mail message.
