You press control option shift M (vo shift M)  on the file in finder.

Choose open with.
Choose text edit.

While editing, keep both text edit and safari open.

If text edit doesn't appear where I said it would, do the following.

Press control option shift M (vo shift M)  on the file in finder.

Choose open with.
Choose choose program.
A dialog opens.
Choose text edit.
Tab through the dialog and make sure the box that says "always use this program to open this type of file", is unchecked. This may or may not be a thing. I get my os' mixed up all the time.
Hit OK.
Text edit will open with your html source.
Next time you need to open html source, text edit will be an option as per the first set of instructions.

Hope this helps,

Erik

Hi,

I sent a message earlier asking how to open the context menu. I got the menu, but the option I wanted wasn’t there. I’m learning to use html. As you programmers probably know, once you save it and open it in Safari, it is no longer the code you see, but the results. I’m trying to revert back to the txt it came from. I saw the option to browse the types of documents, but when I accessed the context menu, I didn’t see a list to choose from. So, is there another menu to open, or do I open it at the wrong place?

Thanks,
