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.

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.

Oh well. EditPlus2 is a much better route anyways.

Go on Google and search for TextPad. I use nothing else.

How does it compare to EditPlus2? Same thing, just different implementation?

Tigbit · #6 November 10th, 2003, 08:31 PM

I have no idea, as I have never used EditPlus2.

So check out EditPlus2... it is fully functional shareware.
