Hello Jim, you need to install a suffix plugin that will add the .html to the end of your page titles. Go to plugins and search for Shantz Wordpress Prefix Suffix.

Let me know if this helps, thanks!

I can see some other uses for this plugin, but not for the proplem at hand unless I just am not understanding the instructions.

Thanks

Thanks Much for all of the help. I had to go another route after looking at the pages that google had indexed. As well as playing with the htaccess file, I installed html-on-pages to add a .html extension to the files that i needed.

Thanks
