Try using Notepad (free if you have windows) then using some of the great
FREE html tutorials available on the web.

Thats what I do, and that's why I can't help him find a wysiwyg html-editor.
He just needs to make a simple webpage, and he doesn't want to spend time
learning html.

Thanks, but it's a wysiwyg webpage editor like frontpage I'm looking for.

Frank

Where do you find the FREE tutorials on embedded text formatting, etc.,
when you use Notepad (free with windows) to compose word processing
documents (as does such as say MS Word)?

Do you use a wysiwyg just for word precessing? Or are you a total.. um..
purist?

His friend wants to get a webpage up that looks half decent in a
reasonable amount of time and not end up with something that looks like
most of the 20,000 projects on Sourceforge.

I've been using NVu for almost two months now. WYSIWYG and more! Here's
a few words on it:

How about Frontpage Express?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't recommend FrontPage Express!

It produces the world's most horrid HTML code. I've once reduced a
25kb HTML page generated by FrontPage Express to a 3kb HTML page
without changing the appearance, just by removing all the cruft and
introducing some standards.

Please consider using Nvu, at least it has an explicit commitment to
producing standards-compliant HTML. It's your best bet if you're
going the WYSIWYG HTML route.

Wald

I just figured it was the closest thing to Frontpage. I'm a Dreamweaver
guy myself.

Downloaded NVU to check it out, I will never recommend Frontpage Express
again. Consider me enlightened. :)
