MS Word Japanese version seems to behave in a different way than the English version MS Word when you create web pages with images, and the accompanying image folder will be rejected by the Geocities server as invalid file. The following is a solution for that particular problem.
　 　
1

Open the “school name website” folder on the desktop, and check the folder name.

If the file name is “index.files” (index dot files), follow the instructions below.

If it’s “index_files” (index underscore files), then the problem is something else.

　
2

Right-click the “index.htm” icon (not the folder), click “プログラムから開く(Open with)”, then click “Notepad (メモ帳).”

　
3

The “index.htm” file will open with Notepad. You will see rows of texts. This is the “HTML” code for your “index.htm” file. Don’t worry. You don’t have to read or write the code.
 
Click “編集(Edit)” in the taskbar, and click “置換(Replace).”
 

　
4

The “置換(Replace)” dialogue box will appear.

  1. Type in “index.files” (index dot files) in the “検索する文字列(Find what)” box.

  2. Type in “index_files” (index underscore files) in the “置換後の文字列(Replace with).” Please make sure that you type them exactly.

  3. Click “すべて置換(Replace all).”

  4. Click “X” at the right top corner of the dialogue box to close it.
     
5

Click “ファイル(File)” and click “上書き保存(Save),” then click “X” at the right top corner of Notepad. The “index.htm” file will close.
 

　
6

In the “school name website” folder, right-click “index.files” folder, and click “名前の変更(Rename).”
 

　
7

The folder name “index.files” will be high-lighted. Press the “Delete” key.
 

　
8

Type in “index_files” (index underscore files) in the box and press the “Enter” key. Please make sure that you type in the folder name correctly.
 
A big dialogue box “名前の変更に関する警告” might show up. Go ahead and press the “はい(Yes)” button.
 

　
9

Double-click “index.htm” file to open it.
 

　
10

If the image(s) and/or background appears fine, you have fixed the problem. Go back to L-7 and upload the files.
 
　 　
Attention
　

Whenever you create a new web page using MS Word Japanese version, you will need to do the same processes shown above.
 
Remember the folder in which images are stored is named after the “htm” file name.
 
For example, if you create a web page named “grade11a.htm”, the folder will be named “grade11a.files”.
 
So in Step 4, you will be finding “grade11a.files” and replacing them with “grade11a_files”.
 
In Step 7-8, you will be changing the folder name from “grade11a.files” to “grade11a_files.
　 　
Go back to Session 4 - L. Step 7.
