Include pages won't update when changed and saved

[candles]

I am using an included page as my left border. When I make changes locally
it changes all pages.
When I published the new included page, it did not change on all pages. The
new included page is published in folder on server, but did not make changes
on all webpages. What do I do so it will update on all pages?
I am in a quandry.
thanks for any and all help

You must use File Menu | Publish Site and select Change Page Only option.

I did as you suggested. The only place I could find the 'change page only'
option was under 'remote website properties'. It was already set to change
page only. I published again and it still did not change on all pages.
Maybe I did not find the right 'change page only' option??

Ok, then do the following 3 step process (on your local machine) in FP:

1. Run Tools | Recalculate Hyperlinks.
2. Do a full publish, selecting to overwrite everything on the live/remote server.
3. Do another publish, with the Change Page Only option selected

Thank-you Thomas, that worked. I am so grateful that people like you are
willing to help.
It is running very well now. Pages load quickly over dial-up. I am
wondering about the code though. When FP optimizes the html, gets rid of
white space etc. the code on parts of my pages,when you look at code in
firefox, are all in one huge long line. On explorer the code is just all
mubbled into one huge continuous paragraph. I went live and 'reformatted
code' on a couple of pages. That took care of the problem, but made for
longer load time.
My question: Does it matter to the search engine bots how the code is set
up. I lost ranking when my code was so messed up on my home page. Murray
(bless him too) helped me fix that.
Thanks so much,

Some older browsers cannot handle long lines of code, which is what the
Optimise option (Remove all whitespace) produces.

In my opinion, the only safe optimisation that should be done is removal of
leading whitespace. This leaves the code readable by humans, and reduces
the page size by a significant amount.
