transfering from publisher to frontpage so I can upload the page

[Karran]

We have a website that can be edited by frontpage. One staff member want me
to link her page to a publisher page she made, Is there a way to transfer a
document in publisher to frontpage so that I can upload it to our website?

You can export Publisher files as web pages, which you could then drop
into a FrontPage web; the files would be difficult if not impossible to
edit in FrontPage, and there would probably be some formatting loss, but
the document would be there.

Depending on the content, it would be better to either export a PDF file
(Publisher 2007 has this built-in if you install the second Service
Pack; earlier versions require help from a program like PrimoPDf -
www.primopdf.com) or to recreate the content of the page in FrontPage.
If the file is intended to be printed (e.g. reports, minutes, forms)
then go for the first option; if it is just general information that
happens to have been put into Publisher rather than Notepad or Word,
then go for the second one.

Maybe - you'd have to try it, but be warned that editing that one page with
FP may be a nightmare.

She'd have to give you a copy of that particular page file and then you'd
IMPORT that page into your FP website.
Be aware that if she has nav links to other pages of her website they won't
work unless they are absolute urls and it will move your viewer away from
your site to hers.

Also you will have to be careful in FP if you are using Themes or Shared
Borders that you don't apply them to her page. There may be other problems
as well, so make backups first (both of you).

For this: "One staff member want me to link her page to a publisher page she
made..." you would just create a hyperlink in your FP web to her's.

Was this a 2 part question? I'm not sure now.



Good luck.
