Just getting into this HTML, reviews said Dreamweaver is a very good WYSIWYG editor. Sounds good till I saw the price, and eBay is overflowing with how to manuals, = too steep a learning curve for me. <br />
<br />
Looking for a simple and easy (key word here!) to learn WYSIWYG Editor, just to make up ads for eBay. Not into big fancy web page developement, just something I can make up and ad, and go back and forth from 'Design view' to 'HTML' view for tweeking. <br />
<br />
Something I can use (doing text) without being logged on the web, as it takes me a lot of tweeking till I get something I like, and this JUNO.Crap loves to turn off whenever it feels like it.<br />
<br />
Current system Windows XP Home.<br />
<br />
Any suggestions for an easy, minor learning curve, WYSIWYG program available without breaking the bank? Any direction would be greatfully appreciated. Does not have to be the latest and greatest, just enough to do the basics, and be able to view off line (hopefully).<br />
<br />
Thank you kindly in advance for your assistance,<br />
(I'll even toss in a good word to that Santa guy 'bout 'ya!)<br />

Dreamweaver is, in my opinion, one of the best, but still has flaws.

Ego aside, I would bet there are more than meets the eye, that have used WYSIWYG programs.<br />
<br />
All I'm asking for is a reasonable program, without spending the HIGH purchase price of Dreamweaver, even if it is a wonderful program, all I want is a simple program. I'm not planning on going into web design, here, now or in the future, just writing a few simple eBay ads.<br />
<br />
Certainally anyone in the 'Business', would have heard something, besides the word, Dreamweaver.<br />
<br />
Thank you again for your reply, but I'm still hopeful someone will make a helpful suggestion. There's still hope !<br />

I'll take a look see on those 2 programs you mentioned.<!--content-->If you are planning on having a large website/multiple websites, Dreamweaver is WELL WORTH the money, because it is not just the WYSYWIG editor, it is a SITE MANAGEMENT tool, as well. Many times people forget about it. If you just want to run a little 5-page site, you can get by with just a Notepad and your skills, but if you are going to have 50+ pages or more then one website, I highly recommend Dreamweaver.<!--content-->Check out the free HTML editor called 1st Page 2000 at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.evrsoft.com/1stpage2.shtml">http://www.evrsoft.com/1stpage2.shtml</a><!-- m -->. />
This is really a nice editor; not wysiwyg but you can enable a real-time preview that is very handy but still gives you full control over your html. HTML Tidy and FTP are integrated with it, too.<br />
<br />
Oh, did I mention it's FREE? 8)<!--content-->
