Sorry, I haven't priced DW it in a while, but it does generate clean
code that is easier to modify by hand, and by other programs. I use
it, but it's an older version. It is the only program that created
code clean enough for me to abandon the use of hand coded pages...
I do web sites in HTML, ASP, etc. as a supporting service to our
relational data-base customers, and is a part of our income.

And while I don't care for some of the designs and color schemes
customers chose - hey, they're payin for it, not me. ;-)

Yes, HTML editing is boring - especially on large scale projects.
You could create a template and use it for all your other/new pages.
NotePad comes with Windoze, and can be used to edit manually.
DO NOT, however, use WordPad - it will make a mess of things.

Welcome to the wonderful (NOT) world of HTML and cross browser
incompatibilities... ;-)

Good Luck with whatever you decide to do... Sorry I butted in.
