Thanks VERY much for the above instructions!! *THIS DOES WORK*!!

I would suggest that these steps are put into the Wiki page on HTML and 
into the Help screen that is under F1 in the program!!

I have now been able to try LO Writer out in this mode and I must say 
it's not bad at all!! No colour coding and a few other things missing 
but - as I said - not bad. I think it could be tweaked into something 
useful!!

Going in the other direction I tried out Komodo but gave that up as it 
has a VERY annoying default in that it changes things you code the way 
*it* thinks it should be and I hate this!! I like to lay things out MY 
WAY and want it to stay that way. So I have been using Bluefish for the 
past few days and find it also rather good. I notice one responder 
mentioned he used to use Quanta - I did too and it's a great pity it was 
dropped. It was the best HTML Editor I ever came across!!

But thanks Regina, and as mentioned try and get your steps into the 
documentation!!
Also thanks to all who responded to my original question. Very much 
appreciated!!

Best regards
