save the document and then just change the extension name in the finder.
Note: this does work in Windows.. just rename the file where ever it resides instead of trying to force Note Pad to save it with the .css extension.
Alternatively, you can download TextWragler for free from barebones which is accurately about 750% better than notepad in Windows or simple text on a Mac.

Surround the filename in double quotes:
Click Save As
Filename: "default.css"
Click Save As
Filename: "default.css"

Change "Save as type" from "Text Documents (*.txt)" to "All Files" and in "File Name" type name with css file extention like styles.css. Always work for me...

The above, is the correct answer.
You can always determine the desired file type with "SaveAs" command; choose File Type: "All Files", and save it as whatever txt-file format you like including .csv; .js; .css; .htm; .html; .php;...; etc, etc...

You can also help speed up the process by saving the file with "quotes" around the name. This forces Windows to accept the file type.
Example:
SAVE AS: _________________
SAVE AS: "filename.css"
The output would be a CSS style sheet.
Example:
SAVE AS: _________________
SAVE AS: "filename.css"
The output would be a CSS style sheet.

LOL, somebody is trying for clever. How about creating file through command line? Faster then extra click in dialogue menus. I can do that...

Man when do you start reading posts as whole, not just section you want!
Question asked was how do I save my external CSS in notepad, not how do I call my CSS in web site document!
