you cannot convert the file extension ....

instead you can

Choose to preview the page you have built.

Then go to edit, click select all, then click copy, then click paste on a word document, or even the email for that matter .... this will then show the page, however, if you have images inserted, they won't show up for him, (if I remember correctly) perhaps they may in the email, I kind of forget ....

hope this helps ....

is this why I can't open the page in photoshop?

that would be correct ....

.bvp file extension is unique to blue voda, and therefore, can only be opened with the blue voda website builder ...

oops! there goes my lack of social upbringing lady eye. I meant to say thank you. thanks

You're welcome .... It's okay, appreciate you saying so though, thank you!!

well tried copy, paste in several variations and could only move the text. so I guess bv templates are considered images???

You could always do a print screen. Save as image and then attach it in the e-mail.

Just a thought.

Or your friend can also download BlueVoda and he will be able to open a .bvp web page.

since my friend has a vested interest in this, thats an excellent idea. Question: once they download bv., they would be able to open an e-mail attachment from me?? or how would that work?? excuse my ignorance.

Yes, they will be able. Make sure to send the also the pictures. They will need to re-create the path to them, otherwise they will not show

couldn't you publish it and then your friend opens it on the web?

I've discovered for many people to open a .bvp attachment they must do the following.

First - open the BV program.
Second - open a page (even if just a new blank page)
Third - go to the email and click to open the attachment

By doing the first 2 steps, your computer recognizes the extension and where to open the attachment. If you don't do this, on many computers, the BV choice will not be there to select to open the file with.

Just a head's up.
