Assign or change the program used to edit a file

Associate a program with a file type

1. On the Tools menu, click Options, click the Configure Editors tab, and then click Add.
2. In the File type box, type the three-character extension of the file type you want to add, such as "doc" for Microsoft Word files.
3. In the Editor name box, type the name of the program you want Microsoft FrontPage to use to open that type of file.
4. In the Command box, type the path to the executable file for the program, such as \Program Files\Folder Name\Program.exe, or click Browse to locate the file.

Change the program associated with a file type

1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Configure Editors tab.
2. Select the file type or program association that you want to change, and then click Modify.
3. In the Editor name box, type the name of the program you want Microsoft FrontPage to use to open that type of file.
4. In the Command box, type the path to the executable file, such as \Program Files\Folder Name\Program.exe, or click Browse to locate the file.

Open a file with a different program

1. In any view except Tasks or Reports view, right-click the file you want to open from the Folder List, and then click Open With on the shortcut menu.
2. Select the program you want to use to open the file.

Remove the association between a program and a file type

Important   If you remove the association between a file type and its editing program, you won't be able to open files of that type when you're working in Microsoft FrontPage. You should associate the file type with a different program rather than remove the association entirely.

1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Configure Editors tab.
2. Select the file type or program association that you want to remove, and then click Remove.
