MS Office Forum / Publisher / Programming / September 2007How to save a website in publisher that was created in frontpage
I have been using 2000 FrontPage to create, edit and publish my websites. I recently upgraded (i think its an upgrade) to 2003 Publisher. I am having a problem saving my existing website to Publisher now. I did try to copy the page of my site and paste it to a new publisher document however it seems that when I do that I have to do a lot of editing to get it to look the same as it did before. Is there an easier way to do this or do I have to basically recreate my whole site in Publisher? UGH....  SignaturePaula I May I ask why you want to do this? FrontPage was made to create websites, Publisher is a desktop publishing program. Yes, you *can* create websites with it but going from FP to Pub doesn't quite make sense. Just asking...

Well, the reason is that I recently got a new computer and installed Office 2003 Pro which includes Publisher. I gave my daughter my old computer which has Office 2000 Prem which includes FrontPage. However, I was just going to install frontpage in my new computer but one small problem. I don't have the disk any more to reinstall it. So I figured that I could use Publisher instead since I thought that it did the same thing but apparently not. So my question now is .. Is there a way for me to be able to copy FrontPage and install it in my new computer without the disk? The computers share the internet connection and share files so I was wondering if I could share that program too? or do i have to buy the software again? Thanks for all your help!

You need the disk to install it. And since FrontPage has been discontinued, you'd have to go to Expressions Web. Publisher doesn't do the same thing. The end results can look alike but the mechanics behind it are different. I love Publisher but I wouldn't try a website with it. Is this a personal site or something for a business or non-profit org? Are you the ONLY person who maintains it and always will be?

I created the sites to generate auto loan leads for an additional income and I will always be the only one to maintain or manage the sites. SignaturePaula I > You need the disk to install it.

(I asked about maintaining the site because not everyone has Publisher.)

I already tried to do that which was my original question on how to do it or if it could be done with out a lot of work involved. Since they discontinued frontpage software, what is taking the place of that software and would it be easy to save my websites in that format? or does it make more sense to just continue using frontpage?

It would make more sense but if you gave Office to your daughter, you can't keep FrontPage from it.

UGH.... Well, I still have the computer but its in my 8 yr old daughters room and I don't want to have to go in there to do work on my sites. I just wanted to figure out a way to use frontpage from her computer then with out having to buy software .... UGH.... It just seems pointless to pay more money for something that I already have.

UGH.... You're between a rock and a hard place and a brick wall. You can either work on your daughter's computer or you can purchase Expressions Web or you can fight with converting (basically recreating) your site to Publisher. FWIW, I'd suggest getting Expressions Web or checking to see if anyone still has FP2003 for sale. I haven't looked to see if Amazon.com still has any copies left.

FrontPage was succeeded by Expression Web (for internet websites) and SharePoint Designer (for SharePoint/corporate intranet sites), both of which are derived from FrontPage and share many of its features. Expression Web is a far superior product to FrontPage and assists much more in building standards-compliant cross-browser-compatible web pages (something that Publisher is even worse than FrontPage at). Upgrade from FrontPage is $90 here: http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Expression-Upgrade-FrontPage-Version/dp/B000OOCM 12/ref=pd_bbs_sr_4/102-8187916-0436908?ie=UTF8&s=software&qid=1189552320&sr=8-4 Full version is $260 here: http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Expression-Professional-Design-Tool/dp/B000OOEKL M/ref=pd_bbs_sr_6/102-8187916-0436908?ie=UTF8&s=software&qid=1189552320&sr=8-6 SignatureEd Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org Well, the reason is that I recently got a new computer and installed Office 2003 Pro which includes Publisher.
