Loading and Saving Files

Loading and saving of documents are achieved through standard Windows 3.1 file dialog boxes. Clicking the LOAD button will allow selection of a file to load into the editor. The current document number will be where the file will be loaded. Up to three documents may be worked on at the same time. Switching between the documents is achieved by using the DOCUMENT menu on the menu bar.

The areas of the dialog to take note of are:

The pulldown box on the bottom right allows you to select a different drive
The list box on the top right allows you to move between directories on the selected drive
The pulldown on the bottom left allow you to see a filtered list of only a given extension (for example, *.htm, *.txt).
The box on the top left gives a listing of current directory contents, corresponding to the filter below. Type the name of your document just above this box.

WARNING: If you load a document, it will overwrite the current one. Make sure you've saved it first. (No warning is given - future versions). You can always change your mind after clicking the LOAD button by pressing CANCEL.

New Documents

Selecting this option will clear the current document workspace. You will be asked to confirm the clearing of the workspace, just in case you didn't really want to.

If you right-click on this button, you will be given the opportunity to clear the current document and start with a document skeleton. The document skeleton consists of the HTML, HEAD and BODY tags.

Hint: You can define a custom document skeleton/template, save it as a file and use it for many documents. Just save with a different name.
