Assign or change the program used to edit a file
Associate a program with a file type
- On the Tools menu, click Options, click the Configure Editors tab, and then click Add.
- 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.
- In the Editor name box, type the name of the program you want Microsoft FrontPage to use to open that type of file.
- 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
- On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Configure Editors tab.
- Select the file type or program association that you want to change, and then click Modify.
- In the Editor name box, type the name of the program you want Microsoft FrontPage to use to open that type of file.
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Configure Editors tab.
- Select the file type or program association that you want to remove, and then click Remove.
