Hi everyone,
thanks for the education.
Quite the adventure actually.
Granted it might have been the editor I tried, since I am not as of yet
physically able to use voiceover or textedit. Still, trying to edit the
information with the .htm file for my site page produced...less than
successful results.
still, the nice thing is that I have the file myself now, saving
the person, who is not a voiceover user, the issue of getting into my site
via ftp.
I can send the thing to her, tell her the text edit solution, get it back,
and replace the page myself.
i richly appreciate all the wisdom provided here. Otherwise I might not
have done the steps I could manage, and I am very glad to have learned
those steps.
Cheers,
Kare

Textedit can also act as a WYSIWYG editor for HTML files, you don't have to
be a HTML guru.
TextWrangler and(which I understand is being phased out) and its big
brother BBEdit are not usable by VoiceOver users. I can forward my reply
from support if you want to see it, but right now their text widgets are
incompatible with VoiceOver.
Best Wishes,

If you are just modifying the content then a simple text editor will work
fine. In the end, unless there is some complex content management system
behind the scenes, HTML files are just text. So you could open up the text
file, wade through (and otherwise ignore) all the markup and just modify
the text related to your address or the like. In other words, you can
probably do this yourself.

I am not doing the editing myself. Instead, as requested by the person
doing the work, I asked for a program suggestion.
I certainly resonate with the task being simple in text, but I do not
judge the skills of others by assuming they match my own.
Thanks all,
Karen

If that is all you want to change a simple text editor is the perfect
tool.
A html editor would be overkill.
Html coding is plain text encased within a set of text characters to
render
function and format when a browser encounters them.

To the best of my knowledge text editing is not the goal here. None of
the
page coding will be changed, just my off ice address / number on the
contacts page.
