I am trying to learn webpage writing. i wrote some example code using MS word. When I view the code as a webpage there are a bunch of characters before and after the body that I didn't write. How do I avoid this. It also happened when I wrote the code in 'textedit'. But different strange characters appeared.

    maybe you didnt tag things correctly, go over your code and make sure there are no errors.

    You would be better of using Notepad than Word. Switch to either of these and start form scratch (do not bring in your existing stuff): Html-kit http://www.chami.com/html-kit/ Amaya http://www.w3.org/Amaya/ Both are free. Html-kit is text-friendly and can do anything. Amaya is strong on xhtml and is a wysiwyg editor.

    DO NOT paste the code into programs like Microsoft Word or Microsoft Works. Make sure you paste it into a PLAIN TEXT editor so the symbols are not altered in any way. (example: like notepad) when you use programs like microsoft word it will normal do that because it isn't a plain text editor.

    Write code in Windows notepad. Microsoft Word adds tons of junk to the code. Dreamweaver has a clean up word html function, if you have dreamweaver.
