Greetings folks. I'm new to Word. I'm trying to find a way to insert special
HTML code into a document while working in the WYSIWYG mode. (I want to
insert code that will produce a tool-tip type effect that brings up documents
with equations when the user runs the cursor over a link.)

I am totally unsure as to what you want to do, but it seems that you could
use comments, no? (Insert Comments)

By the way, you cannot work in WYSIWYG mode while typing HTML code in a Word
document... Either you are editing the HTML code (which is code edit mode,
not WYSIWYG) or you are viewing the result in WYSIWYG mode, which does not
allow you to see the HTML code...

This is why I am unsure as to what you are trying to do... I doesn't seem to
make sense to me...
If you are writing a Web page in HTML, I strongly suggest that you get a
real Web page editor, not Word.

Jean, Maybe I didn't express that very well. First, I use Word for writing
HTML pages because it makes it very easy to insert equations. Now, I don't
work directly on the HTML code; I use the WYSIWYG approach. However, I now
need to insert little pieces of code in the HTML, because Word doesn't make
it possible to make things like very special popup windows. But I would like
to insert this code while still working the WYSIWYG mode. The reason is that
it is too hard to find the right location while working with the code
directly. So, is this possible?

At least, that's always been the experience for me...

What you can do is insert a silly bit of text, like "spix", and then do a
find when you are in HTML mode to find that location.

Still, you should work with a real HTML editor. You can create the Equations
in Word, then copy/paste special as pictures. Use those in your Web page.

Hi Jean-Guy,

FWIW, once upon a time g, prior to Word 2000 the Add-in that Word then used (Internet Assistant) had an ability to 'melt' HTML
code typed into the document into the HTML source by applying a specific style to the text then saving the document.

It was never entirely clear why Word lost that feature when they built in the HTML tools starting with Word 2000.
