Bob, I "learned" html from a dummies book and from just looking at the
coding on other people's pages. I found I didn't need a lot of the things.
Granted I get pretty simple pages, but I wanted my pages to be able to be
viewed easily in lynx (l y n x) which was the browser I used at the time
because I still had a DOS computer and a telnet connection. Pages with java
and frames and I don't know what all do not display well in lynx. Nobody
probably uses that anymore and I certainly don't, but the html I used at the
time worked for me then and has continued to work for me, so if it ain't
broke . . .
The main things I use are the <br> and the <p> and sometimes I use color
because I like to put books I've really enjoyed in red so I use the <font
color="red"> and sometimes I like the text to be bigger so I use <big> and
</big> to turn it back off. I'll bet that's all I ever use. I like to do
things the easy way, grin.
Cindy, try a global replace of your ^p in word with a <br>. Then email me
the file at mirxtech@xxxxxxxxx and I will upload it to my web space and you
can see what it would look like, as a test, ok? Just remember if you do it
in word, do save as and pick the text file and give it an .html extension.
If it won't "let" you rename the extension, then find the file in "my
computer" and right click it and rename it. I think that's how you do it to
rename it. I like to rename things in DOS just because I'm set in my old DOS
ways but occasionally I do it the "new" way.
