If you want to add a picture, use Insert, then Picture, choose your picture, and
insert it. If you want your picture on one side and the text
in another, you can use Table, Insert Table, and choose two columns and one
row for something like this. To remove the gridlines from around the table,
right click on the table, choose Borders and Shading, and in Borders, choose

Save your completed web page in Word, by choosing Web Page in using Save as.
Name your document index. Close the document.
Third, put your webpage onto your web space
In Windows Explorer, go to the folder
where you have saved your document and copy the web page file, ready to paste
into your web site. If you have included pictures, they will be saved in a
folder with the same name as your document. You will have to copy and paste it
into your web site as well.
In Internet Explorer, key ftp://oucsweb.ox.ac.uk
into the browser. Enter your webmail username and
password in the Login box. Open the public file, and paste (or drag) your
document (and folder if there is one) there. The web address for your webpage
will be users.ox.ac.uk/~[YOUR WEBMAIL USER NAME]/[DOCUMENT
NAME]. This document is at http://users.ox.ac.uk/~lawf0112
