Help: HTML Question

[Riley_James]

Hi there all,

Just looking to see if anyone out there has any experience with MS Word HTML documents? I am trying to embed a banner into a Word doc (using XP) and I'm not having any luck. I have the code I need and go to Insert Hyperlink, but I can't figure out where to put the code. I feel like such a dweeb.

Anyone?

Thanks a bunch in advance to any who might be able to help. ~Riley

Open the file as a text file in Word and insert your code in that format.

Word's Edit as HTML mode is pretty much worthless IMHO. there are hundreds if not thousands of better WYSIWYG HTML editors available and mos are very cheap if no completely free.

The other thing to be aware of is that Word generates garbage HTML -- a lot of MS only tags that are not industry standard.

Being a geek, I don't use WYSIWYG editors myself, but I've heard good things about Nvu:

And the unofficial version has apparently gotten rid of a few bugs, so you might prefer that:

And I fully agree with what's been said about Word - you'll get nothing but trouble from the horrible HTML it generates.
