MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / August 2005Mac users cannot view pics on my page - Fix?
I just finished creating a web page using publisher2003. I got it loaded up and everyone who looks at it from a PC thinks it is great. Everyone who looks at it from a Mac cannot see any of the pictures. Is there anyway to correct this problem? The page is a professional page heavily dependent on the photos and many of the potential viewers will be educational institutions who more than likely will be using Macs. Publisher isn't always multi-browser compatible. Since you know or suspect that a lot of your target audience are going to be Mac users, I'd suggest you purchase Front Page and start from scratch. I know this isn't the answer you wanted but it's like pulling a band-aid off. You just need to rip it off and get it over with quickly.

Will this solve he problem but be as simple to create pages as Publisher? Also, can I transfer my existing pages out of Publisher, or at least recreate them so they look alike. My site is www.CabaretOle.com I appreciate any advice you might have since I have only recently learned how simple Publisher is compared to the multitude of web site design programs which are more complicated and not sophisticated. Thank you very much. > Publisher isn't always multi-browser compatible.

Pub2003 codes some pretty complex logic and includes VML in order to use different copies of your images with different browsers. Some browsers don't like the logic and/or the VML. Such a browser would certainly be Safari. A Mac user will likely use the Safari browser, Apples own browser. I've seen Safari choke on plenty of non Publisher built sites btw. Under Publisher's web options you can turn off PNG and VML options and republish and see if that helps out with Safari any. The Mac usually also has IE installed. That will usually work much better. But Publisher is not well suited for optimal browser and cross platform support.
