When you choose the Save as Web Page command to save a new file, the default Web format is single file Web page (Single File Web Page (MHTML): An HTML document saved in MHTML format, which integrates inline graphics, applets, linked documents, and other supporting items referenced in the document.) (MHTML) which saves all the elements of a Web site, including text and graphics, into a single file.

However, when you save your file as a Web page by selecting Web Page in the Save as type box, all supporting files— such as bullets, background textures, and graphics— are organized in a supporting folder. The name of the supporting folder is the name of the Web page plus an underscore (_), a period (.), or a hyphen (-), and the word "files." The word "files" will appear in the language of the version of Microsoft Office that was used to save the file as a Web page. For example, suppose you use the Dutch language version of Office to save a file named Page1 as a Web page. The default name of the supporting folder would be Page1_bestanden.

Note  If you save your Web page with a short file name (maximum of eight characters, plus a three-character file extension) by clearing the Use long file names whenever possible check box in the Web Options dialog box, the supporting folder is the name of the Web page without the word "files."
