Word needs markup language formatting edits. Not just WYSIWYG.
Similar to the way we can view and edit HTML code directly from a web page
WYSIWYG editor, it would be empowering to have that same ability in Word. I wish to have the ability to view and edit document "markup" directly(albeit with rules), in addition to Word's WYSIWIG menu commands for visual presentation (page layout, formatting, etc.) In a web document, sometimes things get to looking weird, and aren't very clear from the WYSIWYG alone, and a good HTML code editor can clue us in on the issue quickly when you know what you're looking at. Otherwise, it's invisible, and sometimes not very clear where the formatting went wrong. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

You can use File=Web Page Preview and then view source
or, to edit you can use Alt+Shift+F11 if you've installed the MS Visual Script Editor (optional) feature in Word from the MS Office listing in Add/Remove Programs in the Windows Control panel. Note that some of the 'hand editing' will revert to coding Word can understand in its vocabulary. It does not compete with MS Office Frontpage as a web document tool. MS Word's HTML function is basically to allow people to save as a web usable document with no knowledge of web pages other than to use File=Save as Web Page and to then be confident that if that web page is reopened in Word by the author or a website viewer that 100% of the original Word content is intact. ======== "USAFHG" wrote in message ...

Thanks. I did find that. What i didn't know is if that applied only to a
page being published, or to the Word document itself (in any form or view). I guess it applies to word. And this is something that maybe I can make work for those instances to help me understand what I've done wrong in the formatting. However, the HTML was actually an analogy. I didn't actually expect that to be literal to a Word document markup language. I suppose it will work (I haven't looked to closely).
