 Finally, after you click Save As, click Save as File Type and selecting the .html file tag.


 NOTE: at the moment exporting through word does not preserve the image as part of the HTML file, so the image will not show up in Presage. If you would 
 
 like the images to be embedded in your file so they show up in Presage mobile, feel free to email customer support and we will do this for you.
 If you would like to encode and embed the images yourself, follow the tutorial below:

Encoding and Embedding the images into HTML

 Open the .HTML file in the text editor of your choice. For this example, use Notepad.

 Next, find the code that shows where the image is:

Tip
You can find this more easily by typing CTRL-F on your computer, this will bring up the "find" option in notepad. Type in src and the hit the Enter key. This will take you to the first instace of src which should be the image.
 After that: go to this link: base64 encoder
 Which should take you to a screen like this:

 Drag the image you want to embed into the word document to the DRAG & DROP IMAGES ANYWHERE space.
 After the site finishes processing your image, click the </> Show code button.

 Paste the text into the quoted space in the HTML file.

 Note: The hash is very long. This is ok. Just save and close the file.
 You can open the HTML file in a web browser to test if this worked, if the image displays, congrats! You have a properly encoded HTML file.
