I want to use WordPerfect 9.0 to edit the code in HTML documents directly. I could do this before in version 8.0 by specifying Text when I opened the file. But for some reason, I can't get version 9.0 to ask me how I want the file opened. I'm sure it can still be done, but I'm not sure how.

The solution is obscure (and poorly documented), so we're not surprised you couldn't find it. Here's how to do it: select Tools, Settings. Double-click the Environment icon in the Settings dialog box, then click the XML tab in the Environment Settings dialog box. Put checks in the boxes next to 'Import HTML documents using the XML component' and 'Prompt for file type when importing XML/SGML documents'. Then click ok.
From now on, WordPerfect's Open dialog box will display the Convert File Type dialog box when you open an HTML document. Select ASCII DOS Text in the 'Convert file format from' list and click ok to open the file as text for editing. When saving the file after editing, select ASCII DOS text as the file type in either the Save or the Save As dialog box.
