copying a webpage in dreamweaver

Hello again,
2/7 pages are done (translated), but for one of the pages, I`d like to just copy the whole page in a new file, and then translate directly on the copied page. Surely this is easily doable, how come I haven`t figured out how? For shame. Anyway, please help.

Simply copy the HTML file and rename it, then edit that file in Dreamweaver?

or even more simple, open up the page you would like to copy and edit it so that you have basicly a new page. then save as and give it a new name

Just don't do the age old mistake of spending ages modifying a document and then accidentally saving over the original!

A note of advice when doing this take these steps:
1) Right Click>Open With> Dreamweaver MX
2) Save As... (Save as a Different file name)
3) Begin Editing

If you do it this way you will never have a problem with accidentally overwriting the original copy. Trust me, it happens even to the best in the biz.

Well, that was easy! Duh! Thanks again, y`all just saved me a heap of work.
Yippee, I`ve got a star next to my name! Whatever that means. (showing my ignorance once again- hey, you don`t know, you don`t know, right?) Is it number of posts or something?
