What makes this tool so special?

While the tool functions just like any other editor or word processor, it also offer many features that set it apart from the other HTML editors, such as:

Multi-file Search and Replace

Internal Web Preview

WYSIWYG Tables

WYSIWYG Forms

WYSIWYG Frames

Java and Shockwave support

Import Image Maps

Convert from Macintosh & UNIX

Unlimited file size

Checking the spelling of a word, or the whole document, is just as easy. If you wish to check the entire document, simply click on the SpellCheck button. The document is checked for spelling errors, and unlike other editors, WMP knows all the current HTML tags and won't balk over them. You can add your own words to the program's dictionary, making the utility very extensible.

When you're finished editing a page or project (WMP enables the developer to create a "project" which contains all the relevant files used by a particular page or set of pages), uploading the project to your Web server is also a snap. Click the FTP Upload button and a dialog window pops up which asks the user for the server name, user name, password, project file, etc., making short work on the uploading procedure. You'd be surprised how many people have created a Web page only to find that they don't understand how to get the files to their Web server.
