I am currently publishing a website in FrontPage. A
colleague is publishing a newsletter using Publisher.
The hardcopy looks beautiful. Creating the web copy
seems dicey. It looks gorgeous on her machine. But I
don't have Publisher and cannot edit the links so they do
not work on my machine. When I open the publisher
created htm files for the newsletter there are spacing
issues, code issues, etc. It just plain doesn't look
right. Anything to do besides recreating entirely in
FrontPage?

Publisher html files shouldn't be used in FrontPage. In your scenario you
should have the Publisher user save the file as a web publication, add the
menu to it, and save it as a web. Then send you the web files.
Your FP page then simply hyperlinks to the Pub web.

There is a simple solution to this - and it's the one I use. Create a .pdf
from the newsletter and create a link for it. Chances are your editor uses
fonts that may not be present on everyone's computers. No fret - .pdf saves
those fonts and her newsletter is intact.

Easy as pie!
