making a new page and changing locations of pages

[Laura]

I have been having a problem with creating a new page in
my website using a template from an existing page in my
website. I used to just type over the existing page and
save under a new name. But recently, when I do this,
I "save as" a different page name, and even though visibly
the name is changed of the page, the location does not
change. So the old page and the new page are the same.
All the changes I made on the new page, since the location
wasn't changed, appear on the old page.

For example, If the old page was old.htm, and I saved the
new page under new.htm, the location of the new page is
still old.htm, even though the page name is new.htm. why
is this happening? helphelp!
When I go into page setup and look at the location, it
won't let me change it. is there any other way to change
the location?

THANK YOU

**Where** are you telling to save new.htm?? If you entered new.htm in the file name box, and saved
it, it should be "somewhere" on your machine

the new.htm file does exist, but since its hyperlink
location doesn't change with the "save" it also changes
the old.htm page. essentially, there are two ports for
the same page.

Open old and don't make any changes, but select Save As and rename it to new and click save.
Then close old, open new and edit and then just Save. That "should" disassociate the pages.

Try the following instead of the "save as" procedure:

Right click on the old.htm file in the folder list. Select "copy".
Place the cursor where you want the new file to be (likely in the same
folder as the old). Right click. Select save. A file
old_copy(1).htm will be created. Right click on it, rename
it to new.htm (or useF2). Start editing new.htm

This is also a quick way of making a backup of a file before making
significant coding changes.
