I agree, George, that is utterly user hostile. A workaround? Use TextEdit? But when I try what you describe, it opens a plain-text .shtml fine without complaint, and also saves it without complaint. I wonder if that is because I'm still using version 1.3? (on a G4 MDD tower running OS 10.4.11) Did NWP 2 become so belligerent? Or is it perhaps because I have the Open Dialog "Encoding" set to Automatic? Surely Someone else will have more helpful experience.
