MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / January 2008how do you make publisher w3c compatable?
My website that I designed through Microsoft publisher is not w3c compatable. How can I make the changes so that people browsing the web using different browsers can view the information on my website? You can't really change the way Publisher works, but you can workaround some of the cross browser problems. Post the version of Publisher your use, the URL of the pages you are having problems with, and describe the problems and we will try to offer some solutions and some setting changes that might help.

Some people have no problems with their Pub 2003 generated sites being viewed in FireFox and other browsers, and then there are sites like yours... I have not been able to figure out specifically why. Here are some things to do that might help. I would suggest that as you take these steps, then Publish to the Web, to a folder on your hard drive, perhaps your desktop, where you can find the files easily. Then open FireFox and browse to the *.*htm files and open them to test. First of all make sure you are using the Publish to the Web, instead of File > Save As a web page. Go to Tools > Options > Web tab and untick "Rely on VML..." and "Allow PNG..." and test your output. Then try switching the default Encoding from what ever it is to Unicode (UTF8), Western European (ISO), and Western European (Windows), and test your output each time. Hopefully one of those steps will make a difference, and then you should plan on either reducing and optimizing your images with a third party image editing program before you insert them, and/or compressing the images. Reference: "Compress graphics file sizes to create smaller Publisher Web pages": http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011266301033.aspx Your images are oversized and take a long time to load even in IE... Try the steps above and let us know which solved the problem...he optimistically said ;-) DavidF > microsoft publisher 2003 my web site is www.funappearances.com > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >> > different >> > browsers can view the information on my website? Oh yeah...run the Design Checker tool too, to see if that spots a problem... DavidF > microsoft publisher 2003 my web site is www.funappearances.com > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >> > different >> > browsers can view the information on my website? David.. Your the man. i went down the list of ideas and of course the last one i tried worked like a charm. I appreciate all your help and you are Da MAN! Thanks again.

Gene, Great news, but now Da MAN wants to know specifically which idea worked? Changing the encoding? And if so, which one worked for you? Maybe you can help save someone else some time...thanks. DavidF > David.. > [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] >> >> > different >> >> > browsers can view the information on my website? I went under tools / options / and deselected the Rely on VML and then I changed my encoding to western european ISO. Works great. Thanks again David! > Gene, > [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] > >> >> > different > >> >> > browsers can view the information on my website? Good...I am sure that information will help someone down the line. You are welcome...

Blinking objects, overlapping objects, too many boxes, scrolling "times square" boxes, moving GIFS, all go to make it unreadable to a person using a screen reader. A picture of someone sitting at a desk would not tell everyone that is the link to email you. and as it is only a picture a screen reader would be dumbfounded! KISS (Keep it Simple St****.) is a good idea or provide a link to a text only version would help.

I had a problem with a publisher WEB site in Firefox http://www.lrcd.net. I tried the suggestions posted above with no luck, publisher 2007 doesn't have a "use VML" selection. I changed the encoding and allowed PNG picture files. The suggestion about ungrouping solved most of the problems in the body of the WEB site. (all but one section of one page) I Have a menue down the left site of all the pages that wouldn't work though. I placed a hot link on each of the menu items on each of the pages and this solved the problem with the menu. I did the same for the two links that weren't working on one of the sub-pages. Everything seems to work fine now with both explorer and firefox. > Besides David's advice. > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > >> > different > >> > browsers can view the information on my website? You should optimize your images - your pages are too heavy, viewers with slow connections won't wait. You'll not get Pub webs to validate due to their proprietary code. hth. R.
