    Default TXT Files in Design View

    I use a lot of TXT files as INCLUDE files in various pages. When I used
    Dreamweaver 4 I had no problem editing a TXT file just like any HTML file and
    using DesignView. When I get going with Dreamweaver MX2004 I figured out how
    to do it. But I had to reinstall DW MX2004 and cannot get it to look at a TXT
    file in anything but CodeView - or call NotePad to edit it.

    I have already removed .txt from "OPEN IN CODE VIEW". I have tried going to
    MMDocumentTypes.xml and setting the Text type to HTML - which is what I
    thought I had used before. That didn't work. I've tried various combination
    of editing the Extensions.txt file, too - with and without the
    MMDocumentTypes.xml file.

    I know there is a way to do it - but cannot find the way!!
