Publisher 2003 will not convert from .pub to .htm + index_files

[Donald C. Calarco]

I have a large publisher (web) project (89MB) (67 pages)
After the latest edit I clicked on "Publish to the Web" After a few seconds,
it produced an error message: "The disk is full trying to write
c:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Website\index.htm. Save this
file on a different disk or drive. I have copied the .pub file onto five
other computers and got the same error each time. It is not the computer.
What do I need to do. This website is for my business. I need it updated
ASAP. Please help.

Run the design checker tool and see if that finds a problem with your
design. Sometimes just having a design object off the page into the scratch
area can prevent you from publishing.

Go to tools > Options > Web tab and uncheck "rely on vml..." and "allow
png...".

89 megs sounds excessive for 67 pages and might mean that you have inserted
images that have not be optimized for the web. Compress your images before
you try publishing:

Reference: Compress graphics file sizes to create smaller Publisher Web
pages (2003):

Have you ever been able to Publish to the Web and produce you web files to
your computer? Assuming that this just started after your most recent edit,
save a copy of your Pub file, delete the new edits, and try again. If this
works, then you know your problem is with the most recent edits.

I responded before reading your other post in the general Publisher group,
so I will add a couple things.

If your Publisher file is on removable media, copy it to your hard drive
before you open it and try to Publish. As a rule, never work on a Publisher
file on removable media. And after copying it to your hard drive, make sure
it is not marked read only.

Also, be sure you are Publishing to the Web, and not Save As a web page in
Publisher 2003. The first produces filtered code, the second produces
bloated, "rich" code.
