I have site made for me that is on ASP. I would like to be able to
make minor text changes with an editor that lets you see what you
get first. Can I use one on ASP based site? I can download the
files from my site, change and upload if that will work but do not
want to mess it up.

1. Make a backup of the original file.
2. Definately use a text editor
3. Set your system up as a web server, it's not very hard.  Preview
pages on your local machine before uploading them to the production
server.  If your site also accesses a database, you might be able to
connect to it remotely.  If not, install the db program, and either
copy

the records to your local system, or put in some dummy records (just
so you can see everything is okay).
4. Be sure to make a backup of the original file.  I cannot emphasize
this enough.

I see on this w=site that instaed of pages being names index. html
they are like aspx. Looks like there is more than one page that is the
on mine default. aspx, deafult2.aspx and default.aspx.cs. Which one do
i edit the text on? I understand to download it first and save all of
them as back up. If I make a new one and just call it whatever,
test.aspx. and uplod it, it will not bother my other rpages while I
vew it? If tit views OK then change the name to the one to replace
and upload, if messes up I can upload the original  and site will go
abck to as before?

You really have to tread carefully, and you need to work with the actual
page, including the code.

For example, a lot of pages I do have something like (php):

<?php
$thispage = "The page title";
$thisurl = "thispage.php";
include "linkrel_inc.php";
//sql statements
?>
</head>
<body>
<?php include "nav_inc.php"?>
<div id="content">
<h2>Second level heading</h2>
<p>This is the actual page contents I will modify.</p>
<!-- Maybe something might be coming from a database here -->
</div>
<?php include "footer.php"?>

There is a lot of code in this example, and not very much markup.  Most
of the markup (in this example) is in included documents.  In this
example, the only place I would want to change something would be in
within the content div.

Your page will be different, but I hope you can see why I have said to
be careful, and where you might be able to make changes.  As I said
before, best to set up a local server, test the page changes there, and
if everything works okay, then you can upload it to the production
server.  

BTW the OP just wants to make simple changes to text.
The OP should really have a CMS where they can just edit pages without
needing to edit the code.
The web designer should have provided this *or at least instructions
of how the OP could update the site.

MY developer will not help me and just says download Visual.Web
Express which looks too hard to learn to me,. How do I make my
computer a server? What is an easier to use editor that would work,
should I use the see what you do first? I am real unhappy with some of
the text layout and format on my site which cost nearly $4000 and am
stuck with it. actually there are code problems with too but I can get
by for now just want to make appearance changes.

<snip>
Why the hell did you not ask for these changes before the site went
live??.
You will need to use the MS editor due to the site being designed with
it (one would presume).
BTW did you get a contract for this project (or if not a contract some
kind of written plan / agreement?.

I had reached the end of what I could pay and said just finish it
quickly and this is it it appears. The site was supposed to be $1800
to $2500. I was OK at the time with it as was I just relived to stop
the per hour charges. I think I will just move on to a graphic type
web design person to make it look better. Too worried I will mess it
as it does work more or less and I have a few members now. Next time
if ever it will be developer get paid when its done and approved not
per hour rate. Live and learn I guess.
