Can someone please supply me with instructions on text editing web pages from afar?

I have to perform some word editing on a company website that uses Adobe Deamweaver. Can I just open the source code, edit the grammar and spelling, save, and send?

Much Thanks in advance.

Thanks. It's been a while since I've messed with webpages (think Netscape!) :) adirondacker Apr 2014 #2

Webpages are produced by HTML. Dreamweaver is a glorified WYSIWYG editor that produces HTML to display webpages. It throws a lot of other crap on the page that Dreamweaver uses, but if you look you'll find the HTML. A lot of it will be obfuscated by "tagging" and other means, but whatever HTML you see you can edit and upload.

I just don't want to send back a screwed up looking page because the sentence runs into an image or outside of a box.

Always make a copy of the code page, and edit and upload the copy. Then if there are problems you can reupload the original to restore things.
