How to Save a Text File as an HTML
by Scott StanchakYou can convert a text file to HTML without using special software. Such a conversion can be done with a pre-installed program on your PC or Mac. The conversion process is essentially like saving a file for the first time. All you'll have to do is add a file extension to it.
Step 1
Right-click on the text file you want to save as HTML.
Step 2
Select "Open With" and then "Notepad." If you're using a Mac, the program will be called TextEdit.
Step 3
Click "File" and "Save As" in the program's navigation bar.
Step 4
Choose the location you would like to save your new HTML file. Give your file a title in the text field "File name." Don't leave any spaces and remember to add ".html" (without quotes) at the end of the title. In the drop-down box labeled "Save as type" select "All Files." Select "Save."
Minimize Notepad's window. Locate the HTML file you just saved. Right-click on it, select "Open with" and choose the browser of your choice. The file will open as an HTML document.
