Help! Creating Web Sites

As a complete beginner I have purchased "Creating Web Sites" (Under Printing History - October 2005) (Bottom Right Corner 3/08). I have followed the instructions in Chapter 2. Creating Your First Page. I have used Word to create the .htm file. When I open the file from IE all I see is the text and all the formatting tags. I have managed to get the title to appear on the IE Window Tab, but only by choosing to edit the title when saving the file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I’m frustrated

My guess is that your problem stems from having used Word to create your Web page -- Word adds all sorts of behind the scenes formatting to your document. Try creating the same .htm file using Notepad (on Windows) or TextEdit (on the Mac) and that should fix things.

Thanks. I had tried that - but first time got same results. However I have now changed the file extension to .htm and hey presto! It works, Feeling happier now.
