Ok so I created a site and made sure all the individual page options were set
as I wanted eg. an information page was called aboutUs.html. Hit the publish
to web tool, now the homepage has to be called index on the server so I had
to select publish to web as index. Now I have index.html and a folder called
index_files which contains all my individual pages, s'all good. I had
previously saved the publisher file too.

But why when I open the publisher file does it not save all the publish to
web filenames I set? So I make a few changes, publish to web again but
publisher automatically assigns numbers to all the pages ,page 2307.html
page2308.html??

The reason its so annoying is because I want to make small changes to
individual pages but I cant indentify them from a number?!

Also why in the index_files folder containing all my grpahics and things are
there 2 of every file??

You can specify the file name of each page. Go to Web Page Options and under
Publish to the Web, specify the File Name. You may call that page whatever
you want, just no spaces and use lower case, and Publisher will use that
name instead of creating a default name.

As to making 'small changes' to individual pages, you would do that in the
page in the original Publisher document, and then republish....generally not
the individual html page.

Second question: Publisher produces additional copies of your images in
different formats with the goal of "improving graphics quality" of your
page when loaded in IE.

Yes I did rename the pages using the Web page options which was fine it saved
them in folder as about.html and example.html.

When I came back to editing my site I reopen the publisher file, make some
changes, click save again and it overwrites my file names to page numbers
instead. like page001, page 002.html etc

If I go to web page options the publish to web box is blank again???

I can't recreate that. Are you saving your Pub doc after renaming the pages?
After publishing the new HTML files? When I do, and then close, and reopen
the Pub file the page names remain.

Perhaps someone else will have an answer.
