How to change a copied page without autochanges happening in origi

I've been trying to create a new web page by copying another page I've
created, and then saving it under a new title, but when I make changes in the
newly created page, the changes go back automatically to the original. I
don't want that.

What am I doing wrong?
 
When you choose the Exisiting page, is it an HTML page or a DWT? is there a
reference to the original page in the code? I cannot replicate your issue on
my system - so also make sure that you have all updates (office and OS)
applied to your system
 
No, I'm refering to a whole page that I've developed by putting together
three frames. I want two of the three frames (top) and (left column) to stay
the same on each web page, and still use the last frame (big bottom right) as
a template for all the other pages. When I select File, then New, then
Create from Existing Page, then Create New, I am able to give the duplicated
page a new name. I then make the changes I want on this new page, and find
that the orginal page was changed as well. If I have the original page in
the "Preview" mode, it doesn't get changed and I think that I'm OK, but when
the original page is put in the "Design" mode, I lose what it first looked
like and it is changed to look like the duplicate I was working on.

I know this may seem confusing. It is to me. I wasn't sure what you were
asking when you mentioned tag and frames, but in looking up those terms, I
don't believe that they are relevant - but I'm not sure

Thanks again for the reply!
 
Yes, I use "Save As" to give the new file a different name, but I have three
files with different names, but when I change one of them, they all get
changed. I don't know how to break the link that ties them together.
 
Is the <title> tag what you are referring to? And if so, it is online when
you see this? If so, are you using frames?
 
well it shows you are using a theme, but the code you provided is frames and
it shows a DWT

The DWT is a Dynamic web template which is applied to all your pages to help
updating. Any changes made to this DWT would be applied to all HTML pages.
Usually you would not need to use frames if you are using a DWT. Any reason
why you are using a DWT with a frame?
 
Are you using shared borders, and making changes in the shared border
areas? Anything typed in these areas will appear on all pages using the
shared borders.
