Hi,

huuh, NEVER use MS Word to edit a CSS/XHTML template!!!

Word is a word processor, not for editing code! Every newbie makes this mistake ;-) .

Word totally messes up the code, when saving. Messing things up is a speciality of MS.

Use instead: Notepad++

It's free!

Hope it helps.

Another free program that allows you to see your editing is Kompozer, which I used a lot as a beginner.  As Wolfi said, Notepad ++ is excellent, but you will have to know how to read the code.

I use Note Tab Lite myself, but yes, ++ and others are fantastic tools.
