No it is not like microsoft word, although there are similarities because at the end of the day MS word also has a markup language, it is just a bit more hidden than html.

A markup language is there to describe the layout of a page. HTML is just a large collection of tags that can be used to format a webpage. for example:

Code:

Some bold text

Here you have two tags that format the text between them as bold.

if you want to see some html just view the source of a website. probably best to start with a simple website, but it is not too complicated. do your coding in a text editor, such as notepad, and save it with a .htm or .html extension. then it'll open with your web browser

Well if you use a WYSIWYG editor it can be like MS Word, (or if you use MS Frontpage).
I'm not saying I condone such practices, but it's possible.

whats a WYSIWYG editor??????

It means;
What
You
See
Is
What
You
Get

It effectivly means you're not really coding, just putting it together like in MS word, where it looks the same designing it as it does viewing it.

Although MS Word is being talked about above i would avoid it for creating websites. It is nice to use word in examples because it is something that most people have used and so they understand the examples, but if you are goig to go down the WYSIWYG route do get hold of something specificly designed to create websites such as Dreamweaver. Word is a very bad choice
