Using an external HTML editor

Ewisoft Website Builder has a great internal editor but if you are more comfortable using a different editor to edit your pages you can use almost any HTML editor to edit your pages including popular programs like Microsoft Word, Dreamweaver and FrontPage.

Note: It is not possible for us to test every HTML editor available in the market so please keep that in mind should you come across an unexpected error. We cannot fix errors that happen as a result of using your external editor.

If you do not have a specialized HTML editor, you can use Microsoft Word to edit your pages. You can utilize most of Microsoft Word's powerful formatting capabilities and functions to edit your pages.

Note: Your own copy of Microsoft Word is required to be installed on your computer before you can use it with Ewisoft Website Builder.
