Assign an .html or .htm extension to designate the document as HTML.</p>
<p class="Paragraph">As soon as you rerun this command, the HTML code is interpreted and you see the document as it would appear in a Web browser that supports the HTML functions contained in the document. This view does not necessarily match the view in your original OpenOffice.org document.</p>
<p class="Paragraph">Changes you make in the HTML source become visible only after you save and reload the document.</p>
<p class="Paragraph">You can retrieve the view of the OpenOffice.org document via <span class="T1">File - Reload</span>, but you will lose any changes you made in the HTML code in the current view.</p>
