The only files that may *need* to be named with a .html extension are the
home page and any default pages in folders (and with most servers even that
is optional). The remaining pages may be named .htm or .html - it is
personal preference, makes absolutely no difference to the server or
browser.

FrontPage normally uses the .htm extension, you can choose the name and
extension when you save the page - I NEVER use FrontPage's choice of name
for a publicly visible page.

To rename your page, right-click it and choose rename.
