Need help creating my very first HTML page?

<html>
<body>

<h1>My First Heading</h1>

<p>My first paragraph.</p>

</body>
</html>

As a beginner, I am trying to get the tagged script to work in Internet Explorer. I was looking at an online tutorial that shows a lot about HTML scripting, but fails to show the simple step of how to get HTML code typed on Notepad to IE in HTML format.

I thought that all I needed to do was open Note pad and save a text file as HTML, but when I went to Save As:
- Next to Save As Type: there was Text File or All Files
- Next to encoding: for either of the two there was no HTML

Next I thought "oh, I know", I'll save as a text file, open it on IE, save it as a HTML or HTM document and reopen it. All that happened is I saw the script as above.

Could someone please explain how to turn a text document in Note Pad into a HTML web page without giving me the run around by placing links in their answer?

Thanks.
