MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / March 2005converting from previous version problems
After converting my 1998 publisher web files to 2003 publisher web files, I was unable to upload them, due I think to duplication of gif images in png and jpg which caused many of the images and the site in general to be too big. A notice to the effect "Quota exceeded" appeared, explaing the reason for the non-upload. Previously all images had been exclusively in gif format. Need help! Huge changes to Publisher web sites were made in the 2002 version (versus the 98/2000 versions) and more changes took place in 2003. You can visit our site at http://www.publishermvps.com and find articles about these changes. What you are seeing in the files created by 2003 is the way 2003 works. It creates different images. This has been covered in other threads in this forum. There are two things you can do to try to make a little difference though. One is to go to Tools, Options and turn off PNG/VML support. Second is to update your 2003 to Service Pack 1 (see our site for link). SP1 installs a picture compression tool to the Picture Toolbar you can use to lower picture file size. Overall 2003 does create larger file sizes across the board from what you would be used to in 98. One thing you would want to make sure you do on your web server is that you delete all existing site files from the server before you upload new site files. Otherwise you can collect a bunch of files on the server that are no longer used and just using up storage space.

I submit that such a practice or requirement is unreasonable because the site is down until you republish. And unreasonable requirements or workarounds should not be considered a strategy that "works as designed," but a "known problem" or bug. One reason this caught my eye is that I have problems with publishing larger sites (150+ pages) where Publisher fails if the index file or index subdirectory already exists. There is an MS KB on this but the workaround has not worked for me. I have to either delete the subdirectory first or publish without using the folder structure. -- JWPlatt ------------------------------------------------------------------------ View this thread: http://www.forum4designers.com/message178404.html Thanks JWPLatt; I have not (yet) had to follow your advice but am certainly keeping it on file?

Now another problem. Most of my images now appear fuzzy, and take a much longer time to appear than they did with the Publisher 98 version. Any ideas?

After eventually getting my site again on the web, thanks to you, I find that on the web, the pictures/images of book covers which I have on 85 of my 95 pages now load very very slowly, whereas in the 1998 version they came up on the web almost instantaneously. Additionally, the alternative text which I have added to each page which has has a picture on it, appears on a few pages while their pictures are loading, but not at all on the majority of the pages while their pictures are loading although I added the alternative text in the same way on all of the pages. Finally, when I do a design check on my site before uploading, it indicates that all my images are embedded, which suggests this is a fault to be corrected, but I am not sure how to do this or whether it is actually a fault. As before, help on these three problems would be hugely appreciated.
