Using Office 2003.

If one is creating a web page in Word, or an HTML-formatted e-mail message
in Outlook (using Word as the e-mail editor), and clicks "View HTML Source",
this opens the source HTML in the "Microsoft Script Editor".

If one would prefer opening the source code in Notepad instead, is there any
way to set that in options? (If so, I haven't been able to find that
option.)

The setting you're looking for is in Internet Explorer. 'Control
panel|Internet Options|Programs' (or 'Tools|Internet Options|Programs from
within IE), select "Notepad" as the default HTML editor.

Thanks.

So, when one makes that change, and is looking at an e-mail message (with
HTML formatting) in Outlook 2003 (with Word 2003 as the e-mail editor), and
clicks "View Source", and sees the HTML code in Notepad, if one makes
changes to the document in Notepad, will those changes be reflected
automatically in the e-mail message, and be seen in the e-mail message
immediately? Or does one have to click "Save" in Notepad first?
