Hi Andrew, I'm not certain if I am reading this quite right, but I will pass on what I know. Do you mean by separate, not having to open Writer, then select File -> New -> Html document? In earlier releases this option was available from the Windows XP menus. If you want to start directly in the HTML Writer (which as far as I can tell is now called Writer/Web and previously called Html Editor) you can start OpenOffice.org with the parameter -web. For example the shortcut for me would be the following. "C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.0\program\soffice.exe" -web I can't comment on what it would be for Linux users. For me this is the web page designer which is suitable for many people not wanting to touch the html source code. Give Writer/Web a go. For non technical users I think it is quite a good WYSIWYG Html Editor. (Technical people generally won't like it because of many reasons.) It is the only Html Editor I know which is free and has in-line spell checking. To see a couple of sites that have been developed using the Html Writer try the following. http://www.OnlineConnections.com.au http://www.Open-BookManagement.com (This site we written by a non technical person and done completely using the user interface. The user does not know html.) I you have any feedback, I (and I believe the project) would be very interested. If you check a thread recently "Should I consider HTML Editor dead" this thread shows if people don't put their hand up the Writer/Web will probably die in the future. I hope this feedback is of use.
