I'm using Word 2002 on Windows XP, and can not open a
saved web page in Word. All I get is a blank screen
purporting to be the web page. Any suggestions?

<soapbox> First and foremost, it's difficult for me to imagine why any
person would use Word for creating web pages, even harder for me imagine a
valid reason for using Word to edit html. Word has very limited use as far
as creating web pages is concerned and IMO that application of Word should
be avoided at any means. Furthermore why a user would desire to use Word to
view web pages is beyond my own comprehension skills</soapbox>

Scott,
You may need to provide more extensive deatils on what your
attempting to accomplish.
Did it save as a html page or a DOC?
Will the page open with Internet Explorer?
