Easiest software for HTML editing?

UnworthyBean · 7 Jun 2010 at 17:40

I have a few HTML files (MSN chatlogs) that are saved in HTML format that need editing (Dont ask

)

What's the easiest software to do so? Notepad is a bit too longwinded and MS word doesn't seem to want to open it.

Not sure if anyones used Macromedia dreamweaver, But thats the sort of thing im after, But either freeware or a lot cheaper.

Notepad++ ?
Should format it better than Notepad if I recall

Does seem to format it better, But its still the code.

Im looking for something that shows up like you're viewing the webpage and just editing it. Word would probably do this, But for some reason doesn't like opening it.

Notepad++ should be fine for edits.

If you are looking for a WYSIWYG then NVU might do the trick? :-

Or if you need to edit these html files quick style at this point in time just download a trial version of Dreamweaver CS5 :-

Didn't know you could get a trial! That will be perfect as its just this time they need editing.

Cheers.
