How to edit Publisher 2007 website on new laptop with Vista?

[Saracen]

I did a website in Publisher 2007, and the day after I published it to the
Web, our new shower leaked into the kitchen and soaked my laptop, which was
quite elderly. The new laptop has Vista.

Do I just have to reload Office XP onto this laptop to be able to work with
my Publisher site? I guess that I can't edit the website as it currently
resides on my laptop? Or can I?

Thanks so much!

You can't edit a Publisher website, since Publisher is not a html editor
(you could try with FrontPage or any html editor BUT Publisher's code is
impossible to edit). If you have a backup of your website then just load
that on your new machine. If you don't then...hmmm well,... you might be
able to snag it from the server but you won't have the Pub files only the
html excreted by Publisher.

If you have Publisher installed on your new laptop, and the original
Publisher file, then you can open that file, make changes and produce new
html files. The one thing you might find different is that Vista has IE7,
and if you were using IE6 you can't do FTP uploading in the same way.
Reference: Prepare, publish, and maintain your Publisher Web site:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/publisher/HA100947601033.aspx
and read the Vista instructions.

If you have Pub 2007 installed, but lost your original pub file for your
site, then you can recreate it with some work. Reference: Common Sense
Computing 101 aka "Why in the world would you lose your publisher file?" :

After a lot of good information about backing up, you will see a way to
rebuild your Pub file at the end of the article.

"...excreted..."? Is that a new technical term? <g>

Thank you, Rob.

I have the Publisher files, but I think I have to find the Office 2007 disk
and reload Publisher. It didn't come with this laptop.
