Working with other file formats > Notes on the HTML format

You can also open or save HTML formats with Write.

Opening an HTML document

Internet pages are usually stored in HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) format. HTML documents can be identified by the name extension .htm or .html. They can be opened in Write as follows:

1.	Choose the ribbon command File \| Open (click directly on the icon itself).

2.	Select the HTML format in the dropdown list of file types.

3.	Select the desired file and open it.

Write opens the HTML document and displays it on the screen.

Note: The presentation of a document in Write may differ from that in a web browser. However, you can check the actual appearance of the document at any time by opening it in your browser.

Saving an HTML document

To save a document in HTML format, proceed as follows:

1.	Choose the ribbon command File \| Save as.

2.	Select the HTML format from the dropdown list Save as type.

3.	For File name, enter the name under which the file is to be saved and confirm saving.

The document is now saved in HTML format.

All formatting not supported in HTML format will be automatically removed.

Tip: After saving, open the document with your web browser to check its final appearance.

Horizontal lines

With the command Horizontal line, you can insert a horizontal line into the text – for example, if a separator line is required. Of course, such lines are not limited to HTML documents; they can also be used in normal documents.

Note: This command is not on the ribbon by default. However, you can choose it directly via the hamburger menu (on the left in the Quick access toolbar) as in the classic menu interface with the menu command Objects > New horizontal line.

To insert such a line, place the text cursor on the desired line and choose the menu command Object > New horizontal line. The line is now inserted. By default, it extends all the way from the left to the right margin.

To change the appearance of the line, select the line by clicking on it and then right-click to open the context menu. Select the entry Line properties. (Tip: This command can also be chosen by double-clicking on the line)
