I'm learning html on my own, and I can't figure out how to save my code in Microsoft Office Word 2007 (home version) so that I can open it later and it will display as code. It always converts it into html!

Should be a simple solution, but I'm pulling my hair out. If anyone can help, please let me know!

Why are you using ms word for coding?

You should use an html editor like ConTEXT, else notepad.

Use notepad.

Using Word for coding is like using a lawn-mower to shave your beard.
