Search engines lose me when I change to *.DWT from *.htm?

[Guest]

I just bought FrontPage 2000 and am considering changing to the DWT format.

My websites already are listed on search engines. The pages are listed as
'pagename'.htm.

If I convert to .dwt, will I become invisible to search engines?

Can that be avoided?
Is there a fix to that?

Thank you for any clues.

You do not change the filenames.
A DWT is not a format - it is a template on which all the pages will
be based.
When you have designed the DWT - containing all the fixed components
of the pages, such as navigation, banners, general page layout - it is
attached to the pages containing content. The page names and
extensions do not change.

Thanks, I ought to remove my posting. It was definitely a newbie one. I
eventually found the FP note about the DWT I created being attached to my
current pages. So the *.htm page name remained the same.

I do think that DWTs are available in FP 2000. At least the DWT format was
there. That is all I needed to easily make one clean template and clean up
all my formerly hand-updated pages.

Happy holidays to you all.

DWTs are not available in any version of FP prior to FP2003. Templates have always been available.
