I am having trouble converting publisher files to where there look the same
as in IE.

Editing in Dreamweaver I was able to view them fine in Firefox and Netscape,
but not in IE.

From Publisher, I can view alright in IE, but not in Firefox or Netscape.

Can anyone help me out?

Publisher is a Microsoft product. The primary function is not website
design. If multi-browser capabilities are important to you, then you need to
re-evaluate your choice of web-building software, such as FrontPage.

Ken,

First of all, you should not be editing the HTML code in Dreamweaver. And
from a recent post by David Bartosik:

"Publisher 2003 is designed to exploit the rich features of IE 6 and 7 that
include VML and PNG, as well as push the new standard of CSS2
(http://www.w3c.org). Looking at your sites it looks to me that Opera isn't
handling the CSS2 well. But you might check a couple of options and try
again. Under Tools menu, web options there are VML and PNG options, uncheck
both the rely on VML and the allow PNG settings and then resave and
republish. And see if that helps any. That is all you can modify in
Publisher
2003."

Yes, he is talking about Opera, but the same issues apply to Firefox and
Netscape. If you can't work around the limitations of Pub 2003, then you
might consider switching to Dreamweaver.
