Sorry, Ragnarok, didn't intend to hijack the PHP thread... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/blush.gif

OTOH, I expect you -will- be needing a good text editor... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Thanks for the info on EditPlus2 and OpenOffice, y'all. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

It has been awhile, but I remember spending some time trying to figure out how to get Word 200 to just let me see the HTML as plain text, and it would not do it unless I bought some sort of add-on for Word - don't recall the exact name, but it was something to let Word function as an HTML editor - without that, it would not let you edit in either plain-text or WYSIWYG, it would just interpret the HTML and display the result. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

Re: OT: PHP
 

Umm... what Version of Word 2000 do you have? It normally functions as a WYSIWYG right out of the box...

Re: OT: PHP
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I could be mistaken on that. I wasn't looking for a WYSIWYG HTML editor, so didn't try to use it that way. I just want to view and edit the HTML as text. Seems odd, however, that they would include the capability to edit HTML in WYSIWYG mode, but require you to buy an add-on to do what I wanted...

You could always rename it to .txt temporarily... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

I am pretty sure you can view the source of html as text in Word 2000.

Re: OT: PHP
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Try it. I did, a long time ago, and repeated again just now. Absolutely does not work.

I think that if the opening html tag was left off, and the file was saved with txt extension, and maybe some other jerry-rigging done, then it could be persuaded to let you see the markup tags - way too much headache for routine use in page creation/editing.

I have office XP installed, not 2000. But, I just changed a file extension on a html file to txt, and it opened as a txt file, displaying all the code. Do not save as txt or anything. Go to explorer and manually change the file extension from html to txt (you might need to go to the View tab of the Folder Options to allow it to display the extensions). Ignore the warning message that pops up. Then open it in Word.

Re: OT: PHP
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Fyron... I know how to change file extensions. I don't need to change anything in Folder Options because the first thing I do with a new machine is go in and tell Windows to stop hiding all of that stuff. I am very happy that this will work for you in Office XP. It does not work for Word 2000 running on WinMe. Really, it just doesn't work. Thanks for trying, but... it doesn't work.
