Unable to save changes in HTML source code using Word

[Guest]

I recently took over creating a newsletter for the store I work for. This is
sent out to a large customer base so rather than have a large email, we link
the images in the email to our server and I upload the iamges to the
desginated directory on the server.

I create the document in Word and then save it as a html document. Then I
open the html document, view the source and proceed to change the image
paths. However, when I tell it to save I get a message that states "The
expected file path is different, do I want to update anyway?"

If I click yes, it changes the paths to point back to my local computer. If
I tell it no, it removes the path completely and if I cancel it of course
doesn't save.

I need to have the paths point to our server or imbed the images so this
email is very small in size.

Help!

Hi =?Utf-8?B?QW15Sw==?=,

I suggest you use a different program to edit this. Notepad, if you have nothing
else. You should be able to use Find (and Replace, if appropriate).
