Old html files (done on Page Mill) do not open in latest Dreamweaver

I have a large website with many html pages, all developed on the old Adobe Page Mill application.  When I try to open any of those html pages onto my new Dreamweaver CS5.5 on my new iMac, those html files are not recognized as "openable" (their titles appear in light gray, and clicking on them does not open them.  I can't even click and drag them into the Dreamweaver window.  How can I open those old html files in Dreamweaver?

May I recommend you to read this article first to get the basics of "Defining a site" in DW.
<http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/first_website_pt1.html>
This article will give you a head start in Working with DW.  Page Mill files are simple text file and they should open readily in DW but who knows what has gone with your system that nothing seems to work.
Good luck.

  • Why are many of my files in Keynote, Pages and Numbers not opening?

    Why are many files in Keynote, Pages and Numbers not opening? I have re-downloaded the apps but with no joy!

    Strange. The photos that don't display in Aperture will still display in iPhoto but when I view the info the file doesn't show resolution information only for those problematic photos
    Files sizes are almost all jpeg. Once I reference the file in iPhoto, the master displayed resolution for the photo within finder. The photo's original file also opened in preview and photoshop.

                        webView.stage = stage;

  • How do I reinstall iWeb 3.0.3?  I inadvertently opened an html file of my website and tried to open it with iWeb '09. I get a message saying "Can't open file" etc., etc. I've tried reinstalling the updated version. Iweb will not open.

    How do I reinstall iWeb 3.0.3?  I inadvertently opened an html file of my website and tried to open it with iWeb '09. I get a message saying “Can’t open file” etc., etc. I’ve tried reinstalling the updated version. Iweb will not open.

    Delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. Then launch iWeb and see if it opens. 
    What happened was trying to open the html file reset the file path that iWeb saves in its preference file to tell it where to go when you launch iWeb.  Deleting the pref file and launching iWeb creates a new file and iWeb looks in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder for the Domain.sites2 file it uses to create your site.

  • How can I have a Pages document that is shared with me under my Pages section and not open it with the link?

    How can I have a Pages document that is shared with me under my Pages section and not open it with the link?

    Try this.
    Open the document and select and copy a few pages, say ten pages.
    Open a new blank document and paste the pages you copied into that.
    Save it with a new name.
    Work on those new pages to see if the problem has disappeared.
    If this helps, continue breaking up the large file in to smaller chunks and working on them
    You can of course later reverse the process and merge the files into one new one.
    This suggestion is based on my experiences with large Word files. Breaking it up in to smaller chunks does two things. First, if there is any corruption in the old file, the new copies might escape that. Second, the Mac is faster handling the smaller chunks.

  • Page documents will not open.

    Suddenly some of my page documents will not open. I get this message: You need a newer version of Pages to open this document. I have the newest version and it has been opening these documents just fine previously

    Sounds like you have both Pages 5 and Pages '09 on your Mac and are alternately opening them.
    When Pages 5 was installed, your iWork '09 software was moved to your Applications/iWork folder.
    Pages '09 can not open Pages 5 .pages files.
    Don't toss Pages '09 however as it has vastly more features and is less buggy than Pages 5.

  • Pages '08 will not open .doc documents after upgrading to Mavericks

    Since updating to Mavericks Pages '08 will not open .doc documents even when created with Pages.

    I am unable to check what you have on your Mac so you will have to run your own series of tests to determine exactly where the problem lies.
    Starting with the file extension on the Word files.
    You didn't say, but have you installed Pages 5?
    Is your previous installation of Pages '08 in your Applications/iWork folder?

  • Pages simply will not open

    Hi,
    My apologies if this has been covered, but I'm at my wits end with my ipad 2.
    I've updated to iOS7 a month ago and my iMac only yesterday to Mavericks. Now, Pages simply will not open on my iPad. I had no problems with pages until the Maverick upgrade. Until then, everything was hunky dory.
    I have rebooted, restored my iPad 2 and deleted all my pages files from iCloud and still it will not open.
    Pages will open however, once I set the preferences to local, no longer using iCloud on my iPad 2.
    Naturally, this is far from ideal as I tend to finish work on my iPad 2 that I started on my iMac.
    Do you have any idea why it's not working any longer?
    Any help gladly welcome.
    Tarmac.

    Hi JimHdk,
    Thank you for your recent help and advice. I had already tried a soft and hard reset of my ipad, along with a full restore. None of those helped sadly.
    However, I did have some success yesterday.
    I downloaded all the files from icloud to my iMac and then wiped iCloud clean. I connected my iPad to the iMac and then did another fresh restore of IOS7 and it seems to have cured the problem.
    After the restore, I synced with iCloud and as there was nothing on it; it took no time at all. Then I added a file to icloud via the iMac and it appeared on my iPad 20 seconds later. It seems to be all working again, so perhaps it was just persistence on my part?
    Either way, it now works. Try that qtrust and see if it works for you?
    Thanks,
    Tarmak

    You should be able to Save as: iWork 08, but i don't know how it works on Mountain Lion. On my Snow Leopard the Save as window has a part looking like this
    Or you can send me the document if you are in a hurry and I save it as iwork 08 for you. Click on my blue name and you'll find my address.

  • Pages app unexpectedly quit whilst I was in the middle of a document. I can now not open it AT ALL. I find it's not just that particular document that won't open, but any of my Pages docs will not open using the current version of Pages. Any help?

    Pages app unexpectedly quit whilst I was in the middle of a document. I can now not open it AT ALL. I find it's not just that particular document that won't open, but any of my Pages docs will not open using the current version of Pages. The reports of the app unexpectedly closing each time, automatically went to Apple, but I am not sure what happens with them then. Does anyone know how to help me with this? We live in a very isolated region so rely on internet help. Thanks

    I also managed to read a few other discussions about Pages and files not being able to open. I actually went to the last back-up and restored the computer from that and everything seemed to work ok again, which is great!...advice from another discussion I think you may have been involved in PeterB. Thanks for the advice...also this advice, as I will make a note of trying to open using the Shift key if it happens again and see what happens...might be an easier first option than restoring from a back-up. Thans heaps for the help!
    I was interested to read some of the other discussions where it was stated that Pages '09 seems to be a better option to use. I have both installed, so I will lkeep this in mind. Thanks heaps!
