MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / July 2005Lost .pub file how do I import my index_files back into Pub 2003??
Hi wonder if anyone can help I lost my hard drive big style gone at data recovery place may get my .pub file back may not so here i am with a part finished website and I don't want to start all over. I have the index.htm and index_files on my web server I know next time I will save my .pub file up there too but never imagined my laptop would be destroyed so inconveniently!!! I have frontpage 2000 if that would help at all? My original web site was done in this but I much prefer Publisher... I am not a great web expert or anything so hope you can help with a not too technically complicated solution. Anything worth keeping is worth backing up. Often. I myself burn stuff to CD's regularly. You can open Pub2003 and then browse to the .htm files and see if it'll open them somewhat gracefully and then try and save it as a pub file and see what you'd get. Another thing you can try if it'll open the .htm is to save it as a .mht and then turn around and open the .mht and then save as that as a .pub. Of course you are somewhat limited because the site entity is self-contained in a pub file whereas now you are dealing with page entities only. But if you can get them all in pub files you could then copy paste those into a single pub file.

The .mht file format is exclusive to IE. You can open IE, browse to a page and go to a web page, go to File, save as, select mht and it'll save that page as a single entity locally for you. I myself use this to save off order confirmation pages or documentation pages that I want to save and file, versus printing. The .mht file contains all the page elements and so can be viewed off line at any time. If you wanted to share a pub file with some one that did not have Publisher to view the pub file then saving it as a mht and telling them to view that in IE would be a good use for it. You should NOTgenerate mht files and post those for a web site. would you recommend taking the webpages into frontpage instead i have office 2003 professional so it comes with that my other half has told me > > what's a .mht? > > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > to view that in IE would be a good use for it.

I have tried several of the tips but they didn't work for me. I have FrontPage but when I open it all I get is personal webpages, there doesn't seem to be a way to open anything at all. I do not have MSPub 2003, I have 2000 and it doesn't seem to work in the same way as you indicated.
