Internet Assistant for Microsoft Word

Welcome to the public release of Internet Assistant for Word 6.0 for Windows®, an add-on product that makes it easy to create and edit great-looking documents for the Internet and internal corporate Web sites right from within English, French, or German language versions of Microsoft® Word 6.0a or 6.0c.


Internet Assistant makes Internet authoring fast and easy!

If you know how to use Microsoft Word, you already have most of the skills you need to create great-looking Internet documents. That's because Internet Assistant adds functionality to Microsoft Word so that you can use the tools you already understand to create Web pages. No more learning those complicated HTML tags and typing them in by hand. Just save your Word documents as HTML and Internet Assistant automatically applies the correct HTML tags to them. Because Internet Assistant is Microsoft Word, you get Intellisense technology like AutoCorrect and AutoFormat while you create your Internet documents.


Create documents for the Web in HTML format or Word's own file format

Many Word users don't wish to convert their documents to HTML format in order to post them on their internal corporate web or the Internet. That's why Internet Assistant allows users to insert Hyperlinks in Word documents as well as HTML documents. Word's own file format (.doc) supports multiple columns, text that wraps around graphics, a useful drawing layer, the ability to place text anywhere on a page, and OLE 2.0 embedded objects. Users can now share these documents with more people than ever before thanks to Microsoft Word Viewer, a no-charge, freely distributable tool that lets people who don't use Microsoft Word view and print documents created with it. Microsoft Word Viewer now lets users activate Hyperlinks embedded in Word documents posted either on an internal corporate web or the Internet.

All the tools you need to create and view great-looking Internet documents

In the same way that many people spell-check their documents, users also wish to test the Hyperlinks they create in Internet documents. That's why Internet Assistant lets you test your Hyperlinks and even retrieve information from other web pages without ever leaving the Microsoft Word interface. This version of Internet Assistant supports all of HTML 2.0 and allows users to manually insert additional HTML tags. If you would like a tool that makes it easy to author the latest HTML tags, check out Internet Assistant for Microsoft Word version 2.0.
