Importing site from Publisher

[Shelley]

Hi to all.
I recently created a website in MS Publisher, and tried to import it into
Frontpage using the Importing websites wizard, but it will NOT do it. I get
a message telling me that I should check the location and try again. One
book I have tells me that I need to use 'save as webpage' in Publisher but
this option doesn't even exist! Any ideas?
Any advice appreciated,
Kind regards,
Shelley

Really, start again in FrontPage. Publisher is wonderful at the job
it was designed to do - desktop publishing, but is terrible at
producing websites or web pages.

There is a menu option in Publisher for output as web pages, and has
been there through every version since Publisher 95. In Publisher
2003 there are three options (I have not used any since Publisher is
useless for web pages) on the File menu:
1) Save As and choose Web Page (.htm) in the file type dropdown
(this is in every version)
2) Convert to Web Publication
3) Publish to the Web

Other versions may have other options, or different text for the same
options.

Hi
Thanks. I already tried to publish straight from Publisher but although
successful ?? when I open it up in IE I get the parent directory.
The reason I wanted to use Publisher is that there are some great web
templates, and it looked a lot better than anything I can do myself.
Thanks anyway
Shelley

You could still (probably) use the pub template elements to do the same
exact web in FP.
