Subject: Can't edit HTML with Word

Hello Ralph,
                     It's beyond my minimum comprehension abilities as to
why a body would use Word to create web pages. It's beyond my maximum
comprehension abilities as to why a body would use Word to either view web
pages or edit html? And yet I see all three daily :-((

The only setting that I'm aware of within Word the effects HTML editing is:
Tools / Options / General / Web Options / Files / Check if Word is the
Default editor for all other web pages / Tick/check / ok yourself out.

Hi Ralph,

What version of Word are you using and are
you trying to edit the HTML source from the
web page or edit it as you would a .DOC file
(visually)?

What happens exactly when you try to reopen
a Word created .HTM file? (for example, if you
get an error message what is the exact message
and what steps are you using).

========
After I save a Word doc as an html doc I cannot then edit
the html doc with Word, although that option appears on
the edit menu of the html doc in question.>>
