change the file extension from .html to .txt and edit. Again change it to. html and run. I wonder how answers given by other ppl in this group are relevant to this question.

People telling you to save with .html extension then whenever you need to edit the file, change the extension back to .txt either don't own a computer - no offence - or they don't know how to use one. All text editors offer a save-as feature. FIRST, choose a type of document in which you want to save your file in, then give it a name and an extension. This is because one type of document can have different extensions. HTML documents can have .htm or .html. There are others too. For EDITING, either right-click a file then 'Edit with..", or 'Open with..' from the menu.. Choose your default editor. (Notepad, Notepad++, Sublime Text, Atom, Brackets..) whatever editor you have installed.. You can also drag the HTML file and drop it into your editor. No need to change extension back and forth :)

Saber is right, you can change the extention. A couple ways to do it. Open the Notepad file, save as and type in .html as the extention. Make sure your dropdown has no file extention selected by default. I also suggest using Notepad++. Use regular Notepad as a scrubber of content that you copy from other sources. Use ++ to code in. If you need a free or open source app to code in that is better than Notepad. Use "Brackets" or "Sublime".

FYI, Dreamweaver is an application that you have to pay to use which is why I made the free suggestions below. Brackets is an open Adobe project that's getting a lot of traction and you can code pretty much anything in it. Sublime is another application that's been around even longer that is also a great free alternative to Dreamweaver. I've been in development for 8+ years and have use everything from Dreamweaver to Visual Studio and the free ones I mentioned are good for beginners or pro users.

I highly recommend notepad++. Change the extension to .HTML, edit it using np++ and see the result in a web browser.
