Purpose of HTML Page Type
The purpose of the HTML page type is to import files saved as Web Page / HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) file in another program such as MS Word or MS Excel. Many other programs can save to HTML format.
Capabilities of the HTML Page Type
The HTML page type has one capability, and that is to import files previously created and saved in HTML format in another program. No editing can be done on the imported HTML page. The editing must occur in the program that created it.

Create an HTML Page
You need to have previously saved a file in another program in HTML format.
- From within Website Designer, make sure you have the "Menu" tab selected (rather than the Pages tab).
- From the Menu menu select "Insert menu item (New)"
- Select the "Blank - HTML(Web) page" by doubleclicking on it or highlighting/selecting (click once with left mouse button) it and clicking on the Insert button.
- Enter information into "Page Information" window and click OK button.
- Choose a previously saved HTML file from the "Import HTML File" window by doubleclicking on it or highlighting/selecting it and clicking on the Open button. It is simplest when you create an HTML file to save it to the Desktop. That makes it easier to find for importing to your website. In the image below, you see a file with ".htm" at the end. HTML files will have the ".htm" or ".html" on the end.
- Your new HTML page is now on the navigation menu.
