Mike,
You have to decide which DOCTYPE to add to your page, (and you can add them
manually in HTML View), once you have studied the DOCTYPEs and then you
decided which to use. After that you must make sure that you HTML matches
the requirements of the chosen DOCTYPE as the browser will try to render
your page based on the specified DOCTYPE.
DOCTYPE Overview:
http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/doctype.html
BTW, DOCTYPEs are only used by browsers and HTML validation
sites/application, in general there is no reason search engines, etc. would
have a need to index this info, since they are only providing a link to the
sites indexed.
You should be able to install FP2002 on Windows ME.
