Hello !

Upon publishing the website, the publisher prefixes 'index_' to every page
name I specify in 'web page options'. How to get rid of this?

Thanks,

Taj

Assuming this is version 2003 you are using....
Under tools web options turn on the sub-folder option.

So are we stuck with our files being names index_xyz.htm or everything have
to go through the index_files path? I would rather have a direct path for
my secondary pages (i.e. mydomain.com/subject/index.htm and
mydomain.com/subject/detail.htm) but it appears I can not rename the *.htm
files or even the index_files directory. Am I missing something?

In a nutshell...
version 2000 provides full control over file naming,
v. 2002 provides none,
v. 2003 provides limited control.

Hi, I am working with Pub2000 on a website. The directions say that to
rename file pages and names, to look under File and there should be an option
called >Web Properties.

I don't seem to have this under my File menu. I have saved the document both
as a .pub file and as a website, and am working in the .pub file.

I have options under File to > Web Page Preview and >Save as Web Page, but
no >Web Properties.

What am I doing wrong?

Help greatly appreciated!

duh, never mind. I completely missed the double arrow ppointing down
indicating there were more options under File. Found'em. Thanks, though.

I have just bought Publisher 2003 here in Italy. My husband uses an English
version of the same software. His subdirectory when he saves for thw Web is
called index_files. Mine is called index_file. Since there is no control over
the naming of this subdirectory, the software cannot be used in two different
language versions by one team of people working on one publication.

Further, our ads which we pay for to search engine companies no longer point
to the correct pages. I think this is really poor. Why did MS remove support
for naming of the directory and files? I hope they had a good reason but I
cannot think what it might be.
I have tried changing the language in XP on my machine to English. That just
messes up my keyboard and nothing else changes....Thanks for any help you can
offer.

The sub-folder was introduced in version 2002. It is optional, though on by
default. Under Tools, Web Options you can turn it's usage off. In 2003 in
web options you can also specify the file name of the web page. Though that
naming convention is linked to the sub-folder being on or off. The naming
convention Publisher uses is different in the last three version. Be sure to
visit http://www.publishermvps.com - as you'll find info such as this on our
site.

Yes, I have looked there but it seems there is nothing to do for this
problem. Either I have everything all in one directory with the files having
this ugly name (which does not fix my problem as my search engines are
pointing to index_files, so I will have to resubmit everything) or I have to
edit the html myself and ftp it myself. Or I ask my husband to publish every
time... sad.
But tks for reply anyway.
