How can I set MS Word (Office 2000 Pro) as the default HTML editor. Currently only notepad is offered as an option.

I don't see a way to make Word your default HTML editor. However, you can create new HTML docs (or edit existing ones) by using Word. Simply open Word, create your page, and save it as .htm or .html rather than .doc. If you want to edit an existing HTML page, right click the file, select "Open With" and choose Microsoft Word (you may have to Browse for it).

Hope this helps. Good luck!!

Start/Settings/Control Panel/Internet Options.

Look at the programs tab.

Top option= Html editor.

You can choose word2k there.

FYI- I would stick with NotePad. Since HTML is "Text" no need to stick in un needed crap in there.

LordI:

I'm running W2k/O2K with IE5.01 and I don't have the option to use Word as HTML editor (only Front Page or Notepad). Is there a reg hack or other setting that will allow Word to appear as an option?
