In the future when you use the Microsoft Community please take note that
there are topic specific forums for a product, designed to enhance the level
of support you'll find in the Community. For your posted topic our WebDesign
forum - microsoft.public.publisher.webdesign - would be the applicable
resource.

If you review threads in our group you'd learn that 2003 version webs by
nature are not fast loading due to the code used by the 2003 version.

You need to keep each page as simple and clean as possible.

96 dpi IS the web standard for online graphics.

If you are displeased with the quality output by Publisher 2003 I recommend
you use a graphics/photo editor and reduce your image size and resolution
that way and then use that output in the Pub document.

And you should consider your sire design, do you have a lot of pictures on
one page? If so consider spacing them out across more pages. make each page
smaller if need be.

Are your photos placed at 100 percent size or are you making them
significantly larger? Your monitor is going to display them at 96 dpi,
thus no good reason for making them higher res for display purposes. If
you want people to download them for printing, put a link to a hi-res
pic and leave the lo-res on your main page.
