To keep things simple you will only be able to edit html files created and saved in Libre Office. To edit all other html files please use a simple text editor like notepad for windows or gedit for linux. Can you tell us the source you "read" and "looked up" that made you believe any html file could be edited with Libre Office?

I have read about, and looked-up, the possibility of editing HTML documents in Writer but can not get it to work!! No matter what I do I can not fine 'HTML Mode' or 'View HTML' as talked about in the help files. I can load my document but can not get at the HTML code.

The document already exists - so I'm selecting 'File Open', I change the File Type to 'HTML Document (Writer)' and select my file.

That's your mistake: if you select that option, the document is opened as a Writer document instead of a Writer/Web document. Instead, either leave the file type as "All files (*.*)" or else scroll way down and select "HTML Document (*.html;*.htm)". Using one of these, the document will open with "Writer/Web" in the window title instead of "Writer". Now you will find "HTML Source" in the View menu.

I trust this helps.
