Sub DefaultSaveAsHTML()
   On Error Resume Next
   a = 0
   For Each aFile In FileConverters
       If aFile.ClassName = "HTML" Then
         Application.DefaultSaveFormat = "HTML"
         a = 1
       End If
   Next aFile
   If a = 1 Then
      ActiveDocument.Save
   Else
      MsgBox "The HTML converter is not installed"
   End If
End Sub

NOTE: Although this macro provides error checking to ensure that the HTML converter has been installed, this error checking may not function correctly if the converter file has been deleted or the operating system settings still indicate that it is installed. Conversely, "The HTML converter is not installed" message box may appear even with the converter file installed, if the operating system settings are damaged or missing. To resolve this, it may be necessary to do a complete removal of Microsoft Office 98 or Microsoft Word 98 and then reinstall it, including the HTML converter.
