I bought RW7 several days ago. My Computer is Mac High Sierra. I started to make my Homepage, but soon, the File cannot be opened. It shows following message… "A great website has humble beginnings - let’s get started by adding a page to your project. Getting Started Video Series” And click to, RW8 Introduction Page. But I need not RW8. So, I can’t show and edit my homepage(under construction…) I want to use RW7! Please show solutions! ---

Where did you buy Rapidweaver 7? ---

I’m surprised it’s still for sale. This sounds like one for @ben or @dan or one of the other RealMac team. ---

Have you tried selecting (highlighting) the Project file, right clicking, and “open with” (Rapidweaver)? ---

Don’t click on the ‘Getting Started Video Series’ Click on the + Add button at the top left and add the pages you need. ![29%402x](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/5/c/5c7de3fa5e182b2fb523340e8b41c743460d9c71.jpeg) ![25%402x](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/7/4/7473799a6959d49e44837c6ceee47fc522dea35b.jpeg) ---

Thank you. I have my editing file by using RW7. This file can’t be open… When I click +Add button, can’t view my file. ---

Not sure I understand. You won’t see your file when you click the +Add button, that’s how you create a new project and add pages to it. Can you do that, add a page and save the project, then load it again? To load a RW 7 project file, you use File \> Open, not the +Add button You said you right clicked on the RW project file and said open with RW? Can you actually see that RW file, what is it called? ![00%402x](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/1/4/145a966cc6614331873f170e4379e5beeca6a365.jpeg) ---

I bought RW7 software last week. At first I could make new file, and could edit in several days. But from yesterday, suddenly, the editing file (under construction) could be open. I think I will ask Apple-Japan stuff tomorrow… Thank you very very much!!! ---
