I just tried it again, and I think I see your problem. I did exactly as 
you did, and the "HTML source" option did not appear on the View menu. I 
think the problem is that, when opening the file, you are changing the 
File Type to "HTML Document (Writer)." When you do that, all you get is 
a WYSIWYG display along with no HTML source option. So, I tried it 
again, but instead of changing the file type to "HTML Document (Writer)" 
I kept it at "All types." Then when I opened an HTML file, I saw the 
source code instead of the WYSIWYG display.

Not sure if this is intended behavior or a bug.

(All this said, I agree with Tom that I would use a regular text editor 
to edit HTML code. Gedit works nicely on my Ubuntu machine.)
