David,
After I built my first Publisher website, I thought, "Don't need the pub
file anymore." So I deleted it. Ouch!
The process is, start over.

Hi Don,
I have lost, and even thrown away lots of files over the years...we all
have. I kick myself and promise to back up, and part of the time do it
again. I have mostly learned my lessons, like everyone else, the hard way.
But I do have the vast majority of my files backed up as many as five
different ways these days...
You are correct that the process of rebuilding a website is to "start over"
with Pub 2000, which is what you and I use. However, you can open a html
file in Pub 2002 and 2003. This means that you can download your site and
open it one page at a time in Publisher and Save As a Pub doc. David
Bartosik describes how you can use this to your advantage to rebuild your
site in the article I referenced. So with 2002 and 2003 you don't exactly
have to start from scratch...its easier than with 2000...but still a pain. I
just hope the OP has a relatively small site...
