converting web site back to publisher document

[jan]

I created my web site using Publisher 2003 and uploaded to the host and it is
functioning fine. My computer crashed before I was able to save the
publisher version. ( it is now fixed) I have tried the "convert back to
print" feature but it only converts the first or home page of my site. The
rest of the pages are still in HTML. I also tried to save the web site as a
..pub document but was unable to figure that out as well. Can anyone help?

David Bartosik wrote an article that can help: Common Sense Computing 101
aka "Why in the world would you lose your publisher file?":

He reviews a number of ways to back up documents and then at the end of the
article are some instructions on how to rebuild a Publisher file from you
website files.

Good luck.

Don't feel like the lone ranger...we have all lost a file, at least once.
Luckily in your case, you can download the html files from your server, open
them in Pub 2003, save as a Pub file. Yeah, it will require some
reformatting and copy and pasting, but at least all the content is available
to you. It could have been worse...
