Thread Name: Tech: Notepad : HTML suffix ?
Subject: RE: Tech: Notepad : HTML suffix ?
Notepad is my favorite for moving html around because it scrapes off all of the Word formatting. You get unadulterated text, and you can see your code as you enter it. If you look at source code for any pages (and as suggested, you can save it there) you can cut and paste easily.

Oh, I know, John and others have told us how to get Word to stop saving this or that format. But it's a pain in the butt to poke around in there to find the way to stop it from doing what you don't like, so I use notepad. You can use Wordpad as an intermediate program--some of the formatting. I have it on the computer, I think, but don't use it. I figure using the high end and the low end suit my needs. Why fool with something in the middle that doesn't do either of the others very well?
