Pages Publishing all wrong

[Guest]

I'm new to using frontpage. Offered to take our website on
at my workplace and now I'm wondering what I got myself
into. We just downloaded frontpage 2003. I have made some
changes but they do not show up after I publish. I added
pictures the other day to our website - the only thing that
changed is all my buttons on the first page were changed in
a different order then what it showed on my webs pages -
our server company had to restore which they do not like to
do. Today, I added new pictures, put in as hyperlinks
(which I did last time and they did show up after the
restore) - after publishing just that page, the pictures
from today do not show up at all. I added some more
pictures on another page, did some word art, added a box
around a paragraph - in netscape, it is all messed up (no
pictures, no box - no word art, no paragraph- in explorer,
the word art is not there although the box is and where the
pictures should be is just a box with a little red X at the
top. What am I doing wrong???? I went to publish this
page only, it saved it to the remote web site - it all
looks okay on the pages I did in my webs but on the remote
site it is totally different. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. I have a book "Using Microsoft Frontpage
2003" but it's useless for troubleshooting - and I have a
lot of troubleshooting to figure out. Thanks in advance
for any help you can give me.

As to the publishing problems:

o Does your remote (or production) Web server run the
FrontPage Server Extensions?

o How did you download the existing site?

o How did you publish the changes?

o What's the site's URL?

As to WordArt and other line drawing features, these only
work correctly in Internet Explorer, and even then only
in some circumstances. Because of that, almost no one
uses those features, and neither should you.

If you were able to open the remote Web site directly in FrontPage
and publish it to a local location, then the remote site must be
running the FrontPage Server Extensions.

If you're publishing files one file at a time, are you sure you're
transferring all the files you need? If you add a picture to your
Web site, for example, and then add then picture to a page, you need
to publish *both* the page *and* the picture. Of course, if you
publish the while site, FrontPage will figure out all the files
that are necessary.

If that doesn't clear up the problem, try this procedure:
