Uncoupling files folder from a converted Word-Html Document

Factual Questions
1

In MS Word 2007 I am converting some existing docx files to HTML pages. In cases where the document has an embedded image file (such as a company logo) the “Save As” process creates a separate folder called “Mydocument_files” in addition to the “Mydocument.htm” file. The folder contains the image file in jpg format.

Here is the problem. The “Mydocument_files” folder and the “Mydocument.htm” file seem to be joined at the hip by the file system. If I copy the document file to a new folder, the _files folder tags along. If I delete the _files folder, the document file goes away, too.

Even if I modify the Mydocument.htm file to not use the image file, it still feels the need to be forever accompanied by this (now useless) folder. How can I “uncouple” this folder so that I can copy the html file without the excess baggage tagging along?

Open the file. Save it again, using Save As, and change the document type to “Web Page.” The new file should be free ofhte vexsome folder, which you may then trash.

Thanks. I knew it must be something simple.
