Hi,
I'm building our company website and I am not very good with publisher I
need to know how to make things (logo's ect..) appear on all pages?

You and your company will be happier in the long run to use a program
created for Web development: MS FrontPage. It's as easy to learn as
Publisher. (I use both) Each for its intended purpose: Publisher for
Desktop publishing and FrontPage for web development.

If your company think that you - who thinks that Publisher is the best tool
for web design - are in any way qualified to design a web site, then they
deserve to lose business - and you deserve to lose your job, if they don't
know you're using Publisher. Maybe you've lied to them and said you can
design web sites and, therefore, should be sacked for all the business your
shittly little Publisher site *will* lose them.

And you STFW before posting, you'd have known that Publisher should never,
EVER, EVER, EVER be used for web site creation. A site created with Publisher
will take at least 50-75% longer to load than one created with GoLive! or
Dreamweaver and probably twice as long as one coded by hand.

Learn to code properly - or, for this job at least - pass it to someone who
can.

By the way, 'logos' is plural and plurals *NEVER* require apostrophes - and
the abbreviation of 'etcetera' is 'etc.' and it's usually followed by a full
stop to indicate that it's an abbreviation. There should be a full-stop after
"Publisher" (which, as it's the name of an application, requires a capital
letter.) There should be a comma after 'logos' and before 'etc,'.

Finally, only questions end with question-marks. You've not asked a question
- you've made a statement. It should, therefore, end with a full-stop. Your
company obviously didn't hire you for your wonderful grasp of the English
language.

I don't know where you are but, if you displayed such appalling sentence
construction skills to most companies in the UK you'd most likely be
dismissed.
I'm curious...do you have any teeth left that you were born with? If you
answer yes I'd be really surprised. You are without a doubt, the most
rude, assumptive person I've ever seen who has the gall (ignorance?) to
actually post their insulting venom on this ng. Obviously, in person
you're a very different person, otherwise your face most likely,
would've have been rearranged multiple times.
Then again, maybe it already has been rearranged. Hopefully with more
pleasing results.
My advice to you is to get help with your personal problems, and your
personality (or lack thereof) immediately, if not sooner.
And pray your path never crosses in person with a person like me as that
meeting could be a real epiphany for someone like you.
Good luck in your new adventure.

Chuck, Thank you for your reply. I have always used Front Page but was
having problems. I noticed that Publisher had a web program and thought I
would try, its so much more user friendly. I will however take your advise
and go back to Front Page I was doing good with everything in front page
other that my back ground I put my back ground on and all seems good then
when I preview my pages the background keeps repeating itself. I have tried
everything, I can't even find anything in the help menu about it. The other
reason I was trying a different program was that every time I get it all
good, even in the preview it all looks good I upload it and everything moved
out of place. I woulod welcome any advise you have. Thanks for your
knowledge and time.

Repeating background images is how the browser can adjust for varying
widths.

Place everything in tables. Set table width to 100%. Do not set the table
height, many browsers can't handle.
