If you've been learning DW for 6 months and you don't yet recognize HTML, it
might be time to change tactics a bit. I'd suggest dropping any DW
books/courses and switch over to learning some basic HTML. HTML is the
foundation for everything you do in DW, so you really need to learn it if
you want to have success and less frustration when building web sites.

As Murray points out, my above example is just an HTML link to a word file.
