WHen you edit your page, you have a toggle box with "Source" for every section. If you play with it for the sections where the ID is not, then nothing occur to the section where the ID is. Well, this is my own experience.

Otherwise, to prevent accident, I make a copy of the ID code in a txt file in order to use it back if necessary in case of corruption.

The next time I go to edit one of these (which I may soon do with Dealer's Chess), I'll look for that again. I tried to find tha sort of thing once before, to no avail.

But that copy of the ID code is similar to what I already do: copy and paste into an open WordPerfect document, then cut-and-paste back. It's also a tad easier to edit the ID that way (not much, but still easier).

Besides, switching to WYSIWYG for fixing simple typo's seems unnecessary. These can be fixed just as easily in the HTML source.

That's how I was able to fix the other typos and stuff. The "Shiek" typo I caught after my previous edit, and decided to wait until fixing the Satrap/Ayatollah thing, since that was a little more involved; opening the file to fix one typo didn't seem worth the trouble when I knew I'd be going in soon anyway for something bigger. That's not even considering Jean-Louis's very fine notes.

Plus, with my vision, finding some of those typos are a pain in HTML mode.
