"Many people required to edit and create web pages and/or sites are not web professionals and the only "WYSIWYG" tool available to them is Word. I daresay that most people don't know HTML and are not going to learn it so that they can make an accessible page through a text editor" This is probably very true. When I first decided to do my "homepage" I asked around and spoke with someone whose page I thought was awesome. His advice was "Learn HTML, period." Since his page was really great, I did. I do not regret it. It is the same advice I give out. My girl friend took it and doesn't regret it, either. I have another friend whom I advised to take the time to learn it, and didn't. She is constantly having problems with the editor (FrontPage) and she complains about it all the time, and yet still won't learn html. I know this sounds cliche-ish but, "If I can learn html, anyone can." And with all the excellent vaidators out there to 'proof' your pages and suggest how to correct them, it is easier than ever to learn it. I guess I am spoiled with using notepad, it just seems to be so useful in what I need it for. *Smile* The word processing program I use is Student Writing Center. It even checks and helps with bibliographies!
