    The F5 key also refreshes the page within the browser.

    CTRL + F5 will refresh and clear anything that's cached

    you could also just click in the address bar and press ENTER.

    Or add a link on your page that links to itself and click that which reloads the page.

    If you are doing the locally on your computer your browser is reading the file from your hard disk.

    Using notepad ,or better still, a syntax highlighting editor like notepad++ edit the file and save it with a name page1.htm in a directory that you know, like my document/learninghtml. Go back to your browser and do a open file from the menu and navigate to the place where you saved the file. Select it and open it, it should display.

    Now you can flip back and forth between the editor and the browser to modify the file and see the results. Rembrandt to save the file when leave the editor and reload the file when you go to the browser to see the latest version.
