Cannot locate the templates folder to save a .dwt file to

Hello. I am attempting to save a file as a dwt. file.  However when selecting the file type a .dwt to save it is bringing up a random folder not the 'templates' folder.  I have opened the templates folder on windows explorer with all the dwt files.  The templates folder also shows up when selecting file 'new'.   However even when trying to follow the same file path for which the template .dwt's are located it is not the same and does not give those options.  Thanks

Hi 

 

Sounds crazy.

 

you have one file open.

Saveas, select .dwt

You should see the same folder as for NEW  command.

 

Abd if you navigate to the right folder manually, also.

 

Add some screenshots of you dialogs

NEW 

Saveas  dwt

And windows Explorer <select your template folder>

Hi @cadffm

 

I actually managed to save it many thanks.  just before but couldnt delete this post.

 

I went to tools>find. i then pasted the file directory into the 'look in folder'.  Then i clicked 'find now'.  I think i was not clicking find now before.  I located the dwt files there then override the file.

 

Many thanks

Hi,

 

share screenshots (whole program window)

1. While your file is open, after you started Command: _.SAVEAS and you changed file type to .dwt

(Try to save your file)

 

2. After You started command: _new
