It was so easy in OE! Now, even when Word comes up as the message editor, I
do not see how to even *look* at the HTML source, much less edit it! I want
to insert and edit pictures, set up tables, just simple HTML code.

Yes, Method #3 worked (sort of). When I started MS Word and asked to
View|HTML source, I was told that the HTML Script Editor was not installed,
and I agreed to install it. Turns out that my MS Office 2003 CD was *not
enough* -- I had to insert the MS Office 2000 disk additionally, and then
learned that it had to be the *Premium* version of that disk to complete the
installation. But, amazingly enough, when I went back to MS Word, the HTML
script editor was there and worked just fine!. The only (minor) hassle is
that every time I ask to see the HTML source of a HTML document I am working
on, I have to *decline* the invitation to "install" the HTML source editor,
and then the editor goes ahead and comes up and works fine!! Go Figure!

And my Lord!....the complexity of the HTML script this thing generates to
produce the simplest pages....far, far beyond the simple OE HTML editor. Is
all that really necessary?

Thanks again for your help!

Ben,

You have discovered why most folks recommend using a word processor to do
web page work. If you have FrontPage (a web authoring program) take a read
he http://www.microsoftfrontpage.com/usingfp/newsletters/
If you don't have FrontPage and would like to create HTML try Nvu and
pretend that it is FrontPage: http://www.nvu.com/index.php

Thanks, Chuck. I do have Frontpage (and also Dreamweaver), but I had wanted
something a little less heavy-duty for simple HTML dressing up of an
occasional email. Actually, what I am able to do in Word, especially with
the aid of the HTML Editor script add-in, should fit my needs ok.

However, the article by Bergman on devloping email newsletters will be very
useful to me. thanks!

You can also avoid that complexity by simply selecting Notepad as your
default HTML editor. You actually change that setting in Internet Explorer,
but it affects Outlook as well.
