Publishing from Microsoft Publisher
Hi folks
I'm using Microsoft Publisher to build a small website, but one thing is REALLY bugging me
Although I set a page name using Web Page Options, when I do a "publish to the web" it always tries to use the page name for the LAST web page I published, and not the name I have specified
I've tried looking at the Help (hah!) but I figured one of the experts here would know the answer straight away
Thanks

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I have not used Publisher to make web sites....however I think there is a difference between the Page Title and the File Name, they are not the same thing.
I think Publisher will upload the file using the FILE NAME not the Page Title.
I looked at this on Publisher on Office 2003. Sorry if this is not your problem.
Try looking in the Office Help for "Publish to the Web"

It should be pointed out that Publisher is NOT a good product for creating web sites (even small ones).
It creates lots of extra HTML (the language of the web), probably 10 times as much HTML as you need.
This can make your site slow to load.
It does this so that if need be you can always use the web site to convert it BACK into a Publisher file, so it has to generate all this extra HTML so that can be done.
This is based on Publisher 2003, they may have improved things in later releases.

Hmm - When I was working I figured that there had to be an easier way!
So, does anyone have any suggestions of a good (and hopefuly free) web site development tool?
I'm probably going to be building a fairly static website, so don't really want to spend money on an all-singing all-dancing tool when I maybe only using it once every couple of months
Thanks

This is (OMHO) the absolute best free software for producing small web sites - it's certainly better than Publisher, Front Page, and any of the Serif products.
Keep in mind though that it's an older version of their paid-for software, so, if you are running Vista or Win7, you will probably need to turn off UAC and run it in Administrator mode. (Under Win7, of course you can install the virtual XP, and run it in that)
