Hello,

Looking to see how to change the default for the extension ending to html
instead of htm. Everytime a save a document it gives it the default ending of
htm and I would like it to be html.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure if this will help, but have you tried doing a search through
the help files that come with DW, for "Document Extensions"?
You may be able to change the associated file extension, by changing the
Extensions.txt file in the users configuration folder, the location of which
depends upon the platform being used.

Thanks for all the information. The location of the file was correct and on
the third line there was this information

<documenttype id="HTML" internaltype="HTML"
winfileextension="htm,html,shtml,shtm,stm,tpl,lasso,xhtml"
macfileextension="htm,html,shtml,shtm,tpl,lasso,xhtml" file="Default.html"
writebyteordermark="false"><TITLE>

and I changed it to have the html in front of the htm on both lines so it
ended up looking like this

<documenttype id="HTML" internaltype="HTML"
winfileextension="html,htm,shtml,shtm,stm,tpl,lasso,xhtml"
macfileextension="html,htm,shtml,shtm,tpl,lasso,xhtml" file="Default.html"
writebyteordermark="false"><TITLE>

Thought I would put it in here in case someone else was looking for the
answer.

thanks again for the help,
