If you've seen some World Wide Web pages in your Internet travels, you might think you need some high-end word processor or mega buck page layout software to achieve all those fancy-schmancy effects. No way, José. In fact, any program that enables you to peck out pure text is good enough for creating Web Page that rival anything produced by humanoid corporation or artists with unpronounceable names. That's right : Even during humblest text editor (such as the Notepad accessory that comes with Windows) is all you need to get started in the Web Page publishing game.

     So, the first order of business in creating a Web Page is to fire up your favorite text editor or word processor (such as Word for Windows) and launch a new document. (In post cases, the program will start up a new document for you automatically.) Okay, You're ready for action!

     As with any computer-related andeavor, you should save should save your Web work regularly. Browsers always look for files that have names that end with either .HTM or .HTML, so be sure to use one of these extension (for example, HOME PAGE.HTML). If your using a word processor, though, make sure you save the document as a simple text file. HTML pages that were saved in the word processor's native format will give any Web browser a bad case of indigestion.
