Ok...you're probably right, but when technology lets you down you've go to rant.

I don't disagree; however, I think what Microsoft has done is awesome. They made all their software programmable so that if you don't like how something works, you can write something better and still use their stuff as a foundation.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

It is very cool. I've done bits of VBA throughout my career and Excel itself is quite amazing for its power.
But I when you gotta rant, you gotta rant.

Have you tried LibreOffice? the documentation says it can do it: Saving and exporting documents as web pages[^] - check about 2/3 of the way down, which looks like it does what you want. (I haven't tried it, I haven't installed any WP on the WookieTab yet)
Wordstar? Hah! The best WP ever: AmiPro. Small footprint, full featured, fast as elephant, very, very user friendly. Pity it was killed by Word and it's inability to read / write Word documents... I still miss it.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I have used it in the past and it has done good things.
I took a look at that document and it looks like it does do exactly what I want.
Thanks very much.

I still have my pfs:FirstChoice discs and manual. I don't know why anyone would settle for less than a fully functional Integrated Application Suite -- with communication built in!
Though it sure would be nice to be able to export to XML...

The version I linked to said "File...Send...Create HTML Document".
Which I just tried on V5.3.0.3 and ... it failed. Such is life.

Yeah, I just tried it and it put the entire document in one huge html page and all of the images are set to absolute positioning and are overlapped on each other at the head of the document. 
Such is the life! Oy!!

Tried a couple of other options and things got worse.

I believe I now know why they removed the functionality in the newer version.
Back to the manual / VBA process I was using to do this.

Opportunity and Curiosity are both going strong, roving on the surface. MAVEN, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, Mars Odyssey, and more probes are still in orbit. With so many successful missions to Mars, it's easy to forget that getting there has never been easy. In fact, more missions have failed than not: 28 flops compared to 19 successes.

You don't like viewing extended characters / non-printable characters as ascii representations?
Where's your sense of adventure. I edit Word documents from notepad all the time.

Maybe Word has become better at creating HTML documents, I just remember from the distant past(15+years ago) seeing what Word did when it created web pages -the results were horrendously bloated incomprehensible HTML.

Nope!
You are correct that they are still...

My end result took much hand-editing and they still look terrible.
It was all just to make a book I wrote (Writing Fiction By Example) available for free on the web:

I know it's ugly.

Pardon my curiosity, but if you had to advise someone who is just starting out developing websites today, which technology would you recommend him or her to learn?

ASP Classic.
That is a huge question! I've moved to ASP.Net Core 2 Razor Pages just because I like the look of it.

Thanks! My grandson is currently learning Javascript and I suspect the day is near when he will want to learn doing websites.

No problem but please bear in mind that my answer is predicated on my own bias - I think that is the right way to go but there are plenty of other places for him to start.
He could start here, for instance:
Teaching Kids Programming with C# | Pluralsight[^]

Thanks for all the advice. I will keep it in mind!
