I have a couple of questions:

1. I previously had a webpage and took it down in order to completely redo
it but the old website still appears in Netscape. Do you know why and how I
can take the old site down completely.

2. On three of the pages the text does not appear on the web page but it
appears perfectly on my preview web page and in publisher. I have tried
adjusting the text box, changing the format, realigning the text, deleting
the page and redesigning it, etc... but nothing seems to work. Any
suggestions?

Thanks

if you deleted the files off the web server the site is gone.

all browsers have a local "cache" system, a local storing of web page files
to display them faster next time. a cache should be emptied from time to
time or the settings of the cache adjusted.

The preview is the web page output so it will always be the same as what is
published to the server. If this is not the case then one of two issues
exists - the browser used in the preview is supported while the browser
viewing the published pages is not, or ( the likeliest case) the customer
failed to publish all the files of the site. I would bet that ....
1- the text you designed was (due to your design) not supported in html text
and so Publisher created a graphic representation of the text to display the
image on the web page instead of actual text
2 - you failed to publish the site with Publisher (which would ensure an
accurate upload) and in doing so you failed to upload the image file that is
the text and since the image file isn't there the browser has nothing to
load into the page

If you continue to have issues with this you need to post your version of
Publisher and the URL of the site.
