Publish Web Site

[Geoff]

When I go to Publish Web site "Help" says put URL (http://www.any.com) into
File Name.

I get error message that File Name too long or contains illegal characters?

 

[Don Schmidt]

the "any" would be your domain.

We need some more information.
OS. Browser Pub Version and particulary the URL you are entering.

Prepare, publish, and maintain your Publisher Web site:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/publisher/HA100947601033.aspx

Also reference the uploading instructions provided by your web host in the
FAQs or support section.

Unless you are using a form on your site I would suggest that you use FTP
uploading protocol and consider downloading and installing the free FTP
client FileZilla:
http://filezilla-project.org/ It is likely to be easier for you. Also
peruse and understand the directions on this page:
http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/documentation/

Reference: Aplus.net: How do I upload with Filezilla:

This article has some good screenshots that may help you understand how to
use FileZilla, though it is likely to be slightly different with your host.

Just to help future users.

Using Microsoft Office Publisher 2007 and Vista.

After creating Website, File/Save to a folder. Then File/Publish to Web to
another folder - file name will be index by default. You should then see
index.htm and folder index_files containing the images in the folder.

Open up FileZilla and enter e.g. ftp.any.com then User Name and password.

You will see a folder "web" on the right hand side.

Drag "index.htm" and folder "index_files" from left hand side to folder "web"

Hopefully, you're in business.
