Expression Web 2

I am following directions where a lot of sites show the same thing, like at http://www.expression-web-designer-help.com/dwt/make_a_DWT.htm about creating a DWT (Dynamic Web Template). I skip most of the parts on the template, since it will be what I make it anyway. All I do is create a default test page and saved it as test.dwt. Then I made an editable region or two with "manage editable regions". Saved again. I open a new page and where it says to "Click on Format from the top most menu bar. Select Dynamic Web Template and then attach dynamic web template", all my options, except "manage" are still grayed out.

I am just really stuck trying to figure this out.

Any help would be great.

Thank you.

It is Abyss (free), not IIS.

OS is XP Pro SP3.

From another board....

Okay, I can see that if I put files in the folder it thinks is the website, I get the ATTACH option highlighted. I tested it and it works. Then I copy the files to my actual website directory.

So, I guess asking how to make EW2, or XP, see my folder of my choosing as the "My Web Sites" folder, may be a different topic? I am going to assume so since this issue is closed and solved, as my (current) goal has been reached. I will make a new posting on it.
