Word Doc Saved as .htm Has Distorted Text Inside Text Boxes
Folks, I've created what is supposed to be a webpage using Word. When I am viewing in Word (as a webpage) everything looks OK.
But when I view it online in Chrome or Edge, the text in the text boxes is distorted. I can make this problem go away by using a one by one table instead of a text box. I have copied the text in the top text box to show you on the website and in the attached image, and I have outlined the text box. The text is Calibri (Body) 12 pt, but the same thing happens with Arial. How do I fix this? The URL of the offending website is: Trinity East United Methodist Church Exterior This is what the webpage looks like in Chrome This is what the webpage looks like in Word. Solutions very much appreciated. |

Try using a table rather than a Text Box.

Word is a terrible html editor so you shouldn't expect a great result but this one is a pretty bad example.
I had a look at the html that was produced and that text box was converted to a GIF graphic so it is no surprise that it looks as bad as it does. I suspect there won't be much you can do about text boxes converting to gif images so I would also recommend you use a table cell instead.

Thanks to both of you, and in particularly the note that a text box is rendered as a .gif.
Seems like a bug... treating a text box as a picture element when a one cell table does work. Live and learn. Thank you, folks. |

In Word, Text Boxes are treated as graphical elements, not text. They are not in the regular document layer or story. This has always been the case.
