In addition to what Mary said, if you have overlapping elements in a
Publisher webpage, then sometimes that is converted to a new, combined GIF
image of lower quality. Furthermore, Pub 2003 generates several copies of
all images on your page in different formats with the goal of rendering the
best image possible depending on the browser. Unfortunately this sometimes
results in less than the best image be loaded.
Assuming that you are going to have your logo on each page, then follow
Mary's advice about producing your logo image file in a third party image
editing program, size and optimize it for the web, and save it as logo.gif.
Then create a subfolder on your site called "images" and upload "logo.gif"
to that folder. Then in your Publisher file use the "insert html code
fragment" feature to insert a link to that logo, such as
<IMG SRC="
http://www.yoursite.com/images/logo.gif" ALT="whatever text you
want in the alt tag">
Make your code fragment box the size of your logo. Now when you load the
page, you will get the original logo.gif image without any change in quality
by Publisher, and your subsequent pages will load more quickly.
