MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / May 2005Uploading wave file to server
I am trying to get a wave file object to play in a page. If I understand the FAQ material and the posts on this topic, it looks like I have to upload that wave file to my server separately from the web publication. How do I name, save and send a single file to the server? Also, I read that Publisher doesn't support MP3 files but I have a MP3 file as background sound on my homepage and it works fine. I have Publisher 2003.  SignatureMelanie If you want to click on the object to play a tune (I'll use JungleDrums.wav in the example) you would right click on the object, select Hyperlink, and make this the path /JungleDrums.wav do an OK Save as a webpage and upload it to your Internet Provider Using the same ftp program you would upload JungleDrums.wav to the same location as your html files. Now whenever anyone visits your site and clicks on the object it'll play JungleDrums.wav SignatureDon Vancouver, USA P.S. Jungle Drums by Artie Shaw - probably a couple of decades before your parents time. >I am trying to get a wave file object to play in a page.

I can get as far as creating the hyperlink. It will play in the Publisher Document but not in the Web Preview. How do I save the hyperlink as it's own webpage? There doesn't seem to be an obvious save function in the Edit hyperlink box.

I have Publisher 2003. You won't connect to the wav file until you upload it and visit the site. SignatureDon Vancouver, USA >I can get as far as creating the hyperlink.

I have Publisher 2003. Ok...forgive my lack of computer savvy but I need you to talk me through the process of saving this wave file as a webpage to upload. I have put the wave file in a New Folder I created in My Documents and titled "webhyperlinks". There are a few Word Documents that I would like to have links for on the site as well....would it be easier to put them all in this same folder and upload the whole lot or will that confuse the issue? In My Documents there is a Publish to the Web icon but it doesn't look like you can specify a site address...it wants you to set up an MSN account. Thanks for your patience. I'm pleased with what I have up right now....for a computer dummy ...but I'd like to figure out how to do this. I build music instruments and want to be able to put sound samples on the site... SignatureMelanie Uploading audio for user playback is different from using a background sound on a page. You'll need to understand what you want before you ask for help. As for uploading procedures that is covered in detail in articles at http://www.publishermvps.com/WebDesign/Version2003/tabid/33/Default.aspx David Bartosik - [MSFT MVP] www.publishermvps.com www.davidbartosik.com > Ok...forgive my lack of computer savvy but I need you to talk me through the > process of saving this wave file as a webpage to upload.

On my site I have created a folder titled downloads and in it are wav and pdf files for visitors to download or listen to with the media player on their computers. Hyperlinks to these files are /downloads/name.wav and /download/name.pdf The only thing your computer will have to do with these files is create them or gather them and upload them to the downloads folder. From then on, all functions regarding these files are done on, at the website.

But, that doesn't apply to the application of a background tag to a page. That is done under web page options in the tools menu. Publisher will write the background tag and upload the audio file. But it typically needs to be a wav or midi file, or at least I'm not aware of the w3c.org standard supporting mp3's now, but evidently your browser does.
