Making the page
All you need to make a basic HTML page is a text editor. On Windows, the easiest option is Notepad. On Mac, TextEdit is the default choice.
Please don't use Word to make your page. It won't work.
Open your text edit, then copy the text in the block below and paste it into your text editor.
