CHOOSE THE FILE EXTENSION TO SAVE AS
When you save a file in a word processor type of
program, such as Windows Notepad, Wordpad, or Microsoft
Word, you don't have to type in the 3 letter file
extension at the end of the file name (.txt, or .doc, as
the case may be), since Windows will automatically add
the right extension. However, suppose you want to create
a web page, using HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language), in
Notepad? Then you should type in the name of your file
(example: my web page.htm) and it must include the .htm
file extension. But another thing you should do: enclose
the entire file name by quotation marks. (Example:
"my web page.htm") Why? Because otherwise
Notepad will add another extension, namely .txt, to the
end of that! Enclosing in quotation marks will tell it
not do so.
