I have created a website for my Wheelchair Rugby club with
OpenOffice 2.0. To make changes to these pages I open the html file
with OpenOffice using the usual interface. To insert such as "<LINK

I go into display "html source". With version 2.3.1 OpenOffice I do
not find access to the source html. How to do it?
And someone replied:
Click View and then HTML source. (View > HTML source)
But this is not true - at least in my version 2.3.1 for Windows XP.
If you create a new "HTML Document" in OpenOffice, it headlines the
process "OpenOffice.org Writer/Web" and there is indeed the
possibility to go to View | HTML Source, where the source can indeed
be edited. But the problem occurs when, as the enquirer explains
above, you want to use OpenOffice to edit an existing HTML
document. If you right-click the document and choose Open With > and
then select Writer or OpenOffice, it opens in Writer instead of in
Writer/Web. (Is this a bug?) The consequence of this is that you
cannot access the HTML source and - although you can make edits and
formatting changes which will be reflected in the document when it is
saved - you cannot tinker with the HTML itself, as the enquirer needs.
But there is a workaround. If you start OpenOffice first and then
open an HTML document using File | Open..., it opens in Writer/Web
instead (as expected?), allowing access to the HTML source through
View | HTML Source.
I trust this helps.
