Hi Jack (can't say that in an airport),

    Your question sounds exactly what I am doing right now.  What do you mean 
by "Microsoft Professional"?  Do you mean the operating system?  That's what I 
am using. 

    Open Office is good for creating graphics and initial settings in the HTML 
code that is W3C compliant.  However, for using as a full fledged HTML 
editor/creator, it stinks!  You can only use OpenOffice if you know HTML code - 
what you can do and what you can't.  Otherwise, you may think you've designed a 
super web page, using OpenOffice, but when you save it and display it in a 
browser, it isn't anything like you designed!  OpenOffice also has a bad habit 
of automatically inserting code that is non compliant.

    You're a lot better off using conTEXT, a free pure text editor.  Besides 
using conTEXT, I also use Internet Explorer and Firefox to make sure my 
creations display the same.  Then, ever so often, I use the W3C web site to 
validate my web creation as HTML 4.01 Transitional validated.   What's really 
nice using conTEXT, is that conTEXT color codes HTML coding. With the color 
coding, editing is a breeze.

    My web creation may look dull to others, lacking audio, animated graphics, 
etc.  But my web pages display the same in Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc., 
are quickly displayed by DSL, Cable, Dial-up, etc. and are W3C Transitional 
validated.
