Hi =?Utf-8?B?dmMyMTU2NUBhb2wuY29t?=,

I am trying to locate the web page wizard in 2003 and cannot find it. please

No, no "web page wizard" is built into any version of Word. There was an Addin
for Word 97, I believe, that may still have worked with Word 2000. Later
versions of Word have some web capabilities built in, so no "wizard" is needed.
What, more exactly, would you need it for?

According to the MS Press publication "Faster Smarter Web Creation", Word
2002 has a Web Page Template. A screen shot of the Word 2002 Templates
dialog box on page 211 of that publication shows there are a number of web
templates available in Word 2002 (among them "Column with Contents",
"Frequently Asked Questions" and "Left-aligned Column") as well as a "Web
Page Wizard". Either the editors at MS Press missed this egregious error
(which is the basis of an entire chapter in the book), or there was indeed a
Web Page Wizard available in Word 2002. The question is, does such a wizard
exist for Word 2003? I am guessing it may have been removed from 2003 in a
bid to encourage sales of Front Page.

Incidently, you would use this template like you would use any other
Office-based template - to create a more sophisticated, attractive document
(in this case a web page) quicker and easier than you could from scratch.
That was my intent in buying the book and following its instructions for use
of the Web Page Wizard. My on-line search for the wizard is what brought me
here. Hopefully the wizard is available for 2003.

And further analysis of earlier posts yields the following:

"As is the case with clipart, fewer 'Wizards' ship with
Office 2003 than with older versions (for example the
Word Web Page Wizard is gone). In some cases its because
of the connection with MS's Office Online Template gallery
through the Taskpane, in others, because there may have been
security flaws in the older wizards, or that they're outdated
as far as running under the current structure of Office 2003
programs."

Thus there is no Web Page Wizard in 2003 and I could not find one online via
the Taskpane. Quite a shame, because from what I can see in the book, it is
a very slick wizard. MS Press should have a disclaimer or sticker on the
front of "Faster Smarter Web Creation" noting that "Parts of this book
pertaining to web page creation in MS Word are only applicable to Word 2002
and are not applicable to Word 2003".

You're correct. The Web Page Wizard was
discontinued after Word 2002 (2002 still ships
with MS Works Suite http://works.msn.com ) and
generally adding the older Wizard to Word 2003
it won't function due to some changes made in Word 2003
internally.

MS Office Publisher 2003 includes a Web page creation
wizard that can be easier and more
productive to use than the one that was in Word.
