And if you turn off word-wrapping in your text editor, you can just open the html page and count down to line 120. Unless your text editor provides line counts, and then you can use that to go right to that line.

Thanks Simon. I used this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">

and

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

but got 8 errors. It didn't like my topmargin, background,s bordercolordarks, bordercolorlights and form (for my warning)

If "charset=iso-8859-1" is the wrong charset, which one should I use?
