One of my pages is showing a Microsoft Word icon instead of a FP icon. It
appears it is saved as a word document not a FP page. How can I convert it
back? When I try to call it up to edit, it tries to open in Word.

www.LakesidePlantation.org the page is "villas.htm"
 
Did you import that page into FP from html generated by Word?

No, it has been working fine, it just changed and I don't know why. I guess I
could make a new page then copy the data and rename the new page.
 
In FrontPage
Tools->Options - Configure Editors tag
Clear the check box labeled "Open web pages in the Office application that
created them"
Click OK

Then double click the offending page and it should open in FrontPage. In
code view, delete the meta tags beginning
<meta name="GENERATOR" content=
<meta name="ProgId" content=
if either mentions Word, FrontPage will replace these tags.

It sounds like the page was opened and saved in Word, and may have picked up
some Word bloat.
