I'm sorry no one has been able to help with your problem. I use Netscape Composer to design my webpages, but cannot upload to my server by using the "publish" option in Composer. I had to download a different program, WS FTP, which was the program that my server suggested. Maybe that is what you will have to do with M. Publisher.

i used to use mspub way back when , to make business cards , forms , and the like ....to be honest , i had thought it was a thing of the past....i tried making a web page on it ....it came out HUGE....i later found out that
it likes to use GIF files instead of jpg.....and churns out miles of redundant code..... maybe the version you are referring to has improved in those areas... when i tried to upload on it , they wanted me to purchase webspace in thier special location........i would suggest bugging the people supplying the course for help..... changes are you can email your page to them as an attachment.....

writing your own html isnt very hard ... and there are many
WhatYouSeeIsWhatYouGet html editors that blows the doors of publishers .... most of them are free.....

I save all six pages as one file, so I don't upload them individually. It all goes together. I've always called the file "index.htm". I pasted the instructions below that I found. When I follow these directions, I get a box saying "cannot save 'index.htm'. The folder is marked as 'read only'." I checked the publisher file, and it is not marked "read only". The other day, when I first tried uploading after making the changes to the Publisher file, I didn't get that message, but I may have been doing something differently. I've found different instructions and tried all kinds of things. When I click on properties for the network ftp location, it says "This server does not support changing file permissions". When I right-click the files in the ftp location, and look at "properties", it says "does not support changing file permissions". The file in the ftp location that is called "index.htm" shows that it was last updated in June 2009, so I must have done something to a different ftp file the other day when some of the changes to the Publisher index.htm file uploaded. I'm so confused. Publish changes to your Web site Publishing updates to a Web site is slightly different from publishing a Web site for the first time. After you publish a Web site to a location on the Web or a network, a shortcut to the Web server or network server appears in My Network Places. In Windows Vista On the File menu, click Publish to the Web. In the Publish to the Web dialog box, in the navigation pane, click Computer. In the file list, double-click the shortcut to the folder on the Web server or network server where you published your Web site. Double-click the folder where you want to save the file. In the File name box, type the name of the file you are updating, and then click Save.

Often the lock is caused by an improper shutdown. Open it up, do a "Save As" and save it under a different name. You should then be able to open the newly saved file for editing.

If you want to mail them, this could be a problem. They are quite strict on size and weight. Even for just giving it could be difficult as to bending and folding, but I am sure it could be done.

Since Publisher is *intended* for uses heavier on block graphics and line art that photographs, favoring GIF formats is a good thing. JPEGs are only a good choice for color photographs.

I had a client give me a publisher file as a source document when desigining his web page. Of what I recall, it actually made decently clean code, but didn't link itself together well - you couldn't go from side on to side two of the fold out brochure, and it got the column order confused.

However, I was able to copy and paste the code into new documents without the usual problem of all the M$ XML garbage that Word likes to include. After getting that pasted into the right places, linking the files was simple.

The truth is, a web page has a differnet structure than most of what Publisher is geared for, so it wouldn't have been able to figure out the right arrangement anyway. Export the HTML, then use Composer or another non-MS Freebie editor to look at every HTML document it churns out, and copy and paste the text into new files you create in a differnet directory tree, and link those together as you need to (and move copies of teh graphics files to the new directory to link in from the new pages. I didn't notice an easy way to "save" the generated HTML files, they were too scrambled.
