Importing Publisher site to Frontpage

R

Rickh

I built my site with Publisher 2000, currently have it in Publisher 2003, and now need to get it into Frontpage 2003. I initially bought Publisher 2003 because of the following quote from the Microsoft FAQ
Q. Should I use Publisher or FrontPage to create a Web site for my small business?
A. The tool you use depends on your Web site needs. If your goal is to give your business or organization a presence on the Web, use Publisher 2003 to create Web sites that are visually consistent with your print publications. Use Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003 if you need Web site management tools and the ability to make frequent updates and interactive elements such as reply forms or search engines. If you have started to create a Web site in Publisher and find it is time to move to FrontPage, you can migrate your work easily

Now it is time for me to "migrate my work easily." Can anyone clue me in to this? Doesn't seem that easy to m
Thanks

Export your Publisher site to a folder on the hard drive, and open/import
the folder in FrontPage.

I tried that. It seems that almost everything is there, but I have no home page. Where would one find one's lost home page

Ed, I forgot to say that I also lost most of my links. This is easy migration? There has to be a better way from what the Microsoft sales professionals are saying

If your site is published on the web, simply use the import wizard in FP. Be
sure NOT to restrict the number of levels, etc., so that you capture ALL
pages and graphic elements. I migrate webs created from many sources with
this method. I haven't had a problem yet.
