What I'd like to know is: if I create a web page in Word, is there any
way I can see what it looks like on my computer's browser (Microsoft
Internet Explorer) without actually publishing it on the Web?

And now, a real answer: "Yes".

Just open the created "HTML"[1] document in MSIE (or browser of your
choice).

Example:

(1) Create Word doc.
(2) Export as HTML (File->Save as web page (or something like that))
(3) Open exported HTML doc in MSIE. MSIE->File->Open->[browse to html
file and select it]

It is really quite easy.

The other way to open it is to browse to the HTML file in Windows Explorer
(NOT "Internet Explorer"), and double click on it. It should open in your
default browser.

But of course, this stuff is OS related, and not really HTML related at
all, now, is it?

later...






[1] "HTML" in quotes, because as we all[2] know, MS Word does not really
create HTML.

[2] Well, "we all" as in "we all *professional web developers*". Clearly,
amateurs and newbs do not know this.
