MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / November 2006naming web pages
I am having difficulty with the actual naming of pages in Pub 2003 so they are recognized when they are uploaded. I have 4 separate pub files that are being published and linked. I can acces the first page of each file, but then none of the links to the other pages work. I tried numerous attempts to assign names, not assign names and then try to figure out what Pub 2003 called them so I can go back and fix all my links. I use the sub-folder option because I have many images to upload in each pub file. Can anyone clear this up for me? I published a complete site with Pub 2000 and had no problems like this. Thanks,  Signatureaurorasnagyi The challenge of building a site with multiple Publisher files is in organizing the file structure. This is further complicated if you use Pub 2003 with the subfolder option enabled. Each Publisher file produces an index.htm file and a index_files folder containing any additional pages plus all your supporting graphics. Pub 2003 also has a confusing naming convention, which can get more confusing if you decided to name the individual pages. If I were building a site with multiple Publisher 2003 files, I would Publish to the Web, to a folder on my hard drive, and study the HTML output...the file names and folders generated. Then when you write links to the other files, you will know exactly how to write the links....depending on how your arrange those files on your web space. Planning the structure of your site is critical to get your links to work correctly. Also be very careful to write your links correctly with no spaces, matching upper and lower case exactly, etc. David Bartosik has an article about this subject: Building a web site with multiple Publisher web publication files: http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/archive/2006/01/16/81264.aspx DavidF >I am having difficulty with the actual naming of pages in Pub 2003 so they > are recognized when they are uploaded.

I had David B's article and just today figured out what he was talking about when naming the page in the web page option. I was trying to put in the entire url, not just the simple "name." After much trial and error, it finally clicked and now the entire website is up and working. I don't do much on the web except for this website - so some of the lingo is not always clear.

For what its worth, when I first started building my site with Publisher, I had to read, reread...walk away, come back and read again... It can take a while to wrap your head around these things.
