Changed page type???

One of my .htm pages now shows a Microsoft Word icon instead of the square
with a circle in it. It will not open if I click on it, but will open if I
right click (only in folders view) and select "open with" then "Front Page
(open as HTML)". I can then edit and make changes and publish it. The remote
web site is also showing the "word" icon. How can I get this .htm file back?
 
Switch to code view and read the info at the top of the page.

Switch the Generator and program ID tags to these for FrontPage 2003

<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 6.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">

For FrontPage 2002:

<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">


And see if that fixes it.

Thanks Steve. I added the lines (I have FP 03) and it now works. The
following code is on the first line of this page only. Could this have caused
the problem?

<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"
xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">
 
Yep, that was the problem.

When you try to open a file created with an office application, the file is checked for
that header info, which is how "Office" determines which application to use to open the
file.
