View Full Version : Publisher and Webpage

I have created a web page in publisher that has hyperlinks
to pages on the internet. Whenever I export the .pub to a
web page .html file it is converting the links to be
located where ever I save the file, like on my C drive
instead of what I typed in the .pub which is a site on the
internet. The strange part is that 1 link comes out ok and
the rest are wrong. Does anyone know how to fix this
problem?

Publisher is a useless program that is basically useless. Therefore you =
need to ask were the losers hang out.

Generally speaking one puts in links relative to the current document, =
unless they are too another site. But as I said Publisher is a useless =
program designed to seperate idiots from their money.

Edit the links manually using notepad.

It is useless as far as web-design goes, I would agree, but as a home/SOHO
DTP application it is very useful, IMO.

As a Publisher user, I find your remarks offensive. So, what do you use for
DTP? Not everyone can afford PageMaker and the learning curve is almost
vertical which makes it prohibitive to all but those with plenty of time and
money.

I use Word. From experience if one does one page per document it =
produces superior output (although it takes more work). But the main =
claim to infamity is that documents can't be shared (as no serious =
person has publisher) or printed (unless one is printing locally).

I used to publish a newsletter (circulation 2000) with word output going =
to offset printing. It was layout perfect. The editor that replaced me =
was an idiot. She could only use Works and Publisher type programs. All =
the minor details of the carefull layout was lost. The title went from =
small caps to capitals, drop caps disappered, and many other things.

I don't, but I'm sure others do find you patently
offensive in your fanatical ego-centricity and lack of
security. You know not of what you speak or you would
have posted differently. Only the ignorant consider
the world required to be of the same opinion. And you
are ignorant candy.

It's a useful program for me and there are many I
would/have/will recommend it to. Not all, because,
like any other app, it's not a cure-all for every one's
needs. IMO, Pagemaker really sucks - there are many
more effective and feature-rich packages out there.
But, you see, the difference between you and I and most
of the rest of the world is the level of interpersonal
skills that you do not posess, along with your huge
ego.
I can tell you where the losers and lusers hang out
if you really want to know.

Morons do what morons do. This is a Windows XP group. It has people =
answering questions, who all probably have publisher sitting in a =
cupboard (as I do) but don't use it.

It nice that you feel compelled to justify MS defrauding you. But this =
is just a version of stockholm syndrome.
