FrontPage Express Lists Several File Types in Open Dialog Box

ID: Q189385

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 4.0, 4.01 for Windows 95
• Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 4.0, 4.01 for Windows NT 4.0
• Microsoft Windows 98

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Open dialog box to open a file in Microsoft FrontPage Express, there is a Files Of Type box that lists various file types. If you try to open a file type other than HTML or text, the file is not opened correctly and cannot be used.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because FrontPage Express lists the file types for all the text converters installed on your computer, even though FrontPage Express cannot actually start these converters to convert the text.
