It's much better for you to learn HTML and use a text editor such as Notepad ++ http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/

yes, and i think word is the very last thing you ever want to use, just do a quick search on google for free text editor or free html editor. Good luck on your website

Notepad++ is free and a good tool for when you're beginning to learn HTML.

**shudders** Word and Frontpage both insert loads of random crap in the page. I'd suggest starting with either, then examining the html and working out what you don't need, so you can strip it out. As a clue, the basic web page should be in the following form
HTML:
<html>
<head>
<title>My Web Page</title>
</head>
<body>
My content
</body>
</html>
Usually you will find loads of extra junk in the head section that you can remove (though you might want to keep <style> and <link...>). Comments
HTML:
<!-- everything in here -->
can be removed without a second thought.

Also, what Word tends to do is things like:
HTML:
<o:p></o:p>

and

<p class=MsoNormal></p>

These are redundant as there is nothing between the tags - so remove them!

I would reccommend reading a guide like this to learn html properly. An alternative is to use a wysiwyg editor like Kompozer. Definitely don't use word since it inserts a whole load of $%^& into your html, as mattura said.
