I have just finished my first webpage using Publisher (i.e complete novice).
An analysis program keeps providing me with page optimisation advice
including "Your Title tag is not the first tag in the <HEAD> area of your
page". How do I actually change the HTML that publisher has set up - if that
is the right way to say it?

You can edit html files with Notepad (Notepad+ is a better text editor).

Notepad+ is available at:

Thanks for reply Don. I guess I should go back 1 stage though - where do I
find the html text for my webpage so that I can edit it?

Cheers

If you didn't create any html files and store them on your computer, then
they will be located on the ISP server. If you download the html file from
the server edit it then the pub file on your computer will create the
original html file when you upload/publish it to the server.

Why do you want to edit the html file and not the pub file?

Publisher IS NOT a web design tool NOR an html editor.
Refer to

Due to this fact do not attempt to use html validation tools. You will be
wasting your time.
You do not edit html in Publisher. All work is done with the Publisher
publication file.
