View>HTML Source. However you have to be in writer/web mode and have saved the document. If you open an HTML file using the File Open dialogue OOo will automatically open in web mode.

All my documents are previously saved .html files with an earlier version of OOo and neither of the items above works.

Just open the html file with your favourite text editor? Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

"Kate is great" - a nice song by The Bouncing Souls 8^). For more advanced (and easy) HTML editing I would recommend Quanta. (Bur it still uses KDE 3.5.10, the plugins don't work.)

When you open them with OOo is there a "HTML Source" Item in the "View" Menu.

OOo is very automagic when it comes to interpreting what's in a document. Saving with an HTML tag on the end does not automatically make an HTML file, you have to be in Writer/Web for it to produce HTML, not just "Web Layout". If the "View>HTML Source" is not in the dropdown then OOo is seeing the file as text only. So try this, open the file in OOo, do Ctrl+A > Ctrl+C Go to File > New > HTML document Ctrl+V or Paste the whole text into the new document. Then go to View > HTML Source If you now have the source, then the original document was saved as a text document.

WRONG, I've reinstalled 3.2.1 (uninstalled 3.2.1 -> installed 3.2.1) could not open ANYTHING. Installed 3.0.0.9, did the above procedure. At first I thought it worked however after I did a Save As and reopened the file, back to square one :'( Something happened at least back to 3.0.0.9 How far back do I need to go to fix this Duaine -- Duaine Hechler Piano, Player Piano, Pump Organ Tuning, Servicing & Rebuilding Reed Organ Society Member Florissant, MO 63034 (314) 838-5587 dahechler@att.net www.hechlerpianoandorgan.com -- Home & Business user of Linux - 10 years -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

OK now that's odd, I presume you're using openSUSE and I presume you're using the openSUSE version of OOo.
Installed 3.0.0.9, did the above procedure. At first I thought it worked however after I did a Save As and reopened the file, back to square one :'(
My apologies I missed one thing up there, when you do the paste do "Paste Special" > Unformatted Text then you get rid of all the legacy junk in behind
Something happened at least back to 3.0.0.9
How far back do I need to go to fix this

What happens when you open the file with a browser and go "View source" from there? If there is nothing particularly top secret about the documents, could you send me one of them so I can check it over for a bug.
