I’m using MS Word for spell checking, but every time I try to save it, it changes my tags and adds new ones to the top and bottom of the page. So is there anyway to save an HTML document in MS word without MS word changing all your tags and adding new ones?
<img src=“http://www.rpgclassics.com/staff/tenchimaru/td.gif”> Yes. It’s called Notepad. Seriously, MS Word sucks for anything remotely involving HTML. Either use Notepad, or an editor like 1stpage or Editplus. Those later two also have spellchecking.
For my fics I write everything in Word and then C/P it over into Frontpage. It sometimes messes up header text, making things bigger, but it can be changed, so it isn’t too much bother.
Actually, 1stpage has an ingrained virus, so I’m not using that again. Nice little treat to add onto your freeware program, I guess.
And Yes, TD, I’m aware that there are other options, but I’m looking for a way to use what I <em>have</em>.
Microsoft Word + HTML = big mess.
Notepad or wordpad works <b>much</b> better.
Right…

Just like every other virus in the world.
I already <em>know</em> about these other programs, the point of this thread isn’t me looking for an alternative to MS Word, it’s simply me asking if there’s a way to use MS word in a way I want. That’s it. Nothing More. Nada. Fin.
And a virus is a virus under any circumstances. Even the “fake” or “harmless” ones still can cause damage. And even if they don’t, it’s still a sign of disrespect to include one with your software package, just because you “can”.
<img src=“http://www.rpgclassics.com/staff/tenchimaru/td.gif”> Oh, ok. Well, there isn’t. MS Word always adds 2390842038502384-12490235720980 tags which make the code uglier than my face. You could spellcheck and paste into notepad, I guess.
There is a way: It’s called cut and paste.
I don’t see why you’re even saving it in word. Write the entire thing in notepad, paste it into word, spellcheck, then repaste it back into notepad. It’s not that difficult.
FrontPage also has a spellcheck and it won’t change your tags.
You could c/p your code into word, then just add the various tags to the dictionary.
Don’t use Word for HTML editing. Same for Frontpage. Use Editplus or Wordpad:

But if you’re insisting on using MS Word for spell check then just copy it in, do the checkover, and copy it out back to notepad as others have suggested
