You may try: just display it as a list by putting them all in a folder, have
your host enable folder browsing on that folder and NOT put an index file in
that folder...then just create a hyperlink to the folder.

Freddy,

It's a little late to be asking for a "how to" when you have "more than
1000" pages you want to link to. Not to mention, no one in their right
mind is going to have a thousand links on a page.

One thing you can do is to use an ftp program and create 50 folders -
one for each state. Don't put any html files, or at least not an
index.html or home.html or similar. Then put a link to that folder on
your main page. When someone clicks on it, they will be presented with a
list of files they can open or download. If you need to break it down
further, for a state like Ohio, you could have subfolders called
Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati (the three largest cities) and Other Cities.

If you want to see what it looks like, try this link:

My pages are named page1, page2, etc., because they are pages in my
newspaper.

Freddy,

I think that both Rob and Mike offered some good suggestions for you to
consider. I would add that you need to remember that Publisher is a DTP that
has the capability of producing fairly basic, simple, static sites....and
relatively small sites. If you have 1000 files that you need to link to,
from your website, you may have already outgrown Publisher and should
consider different web design software. I would suggest that you look into
server side software, and perhaps a server side database to contain and
organize your downloadable files. Perhaps ASP.NET http://www.asp.net/ or
some other dynamic website software. The larger a Publisher website gets,
the harder it is to manage.

With that said, I know of no way to automatically do what you want to do
with Publisher. You would have to write each link to each downloadable file
by hand. To update, you would edit your original Publisher file, and upload
the change.

I have found that it can be helpful to organize and manage larger Publisher
sites by building them with multiple Publisher files. That way you don't
have to upload the whole site each time you edit just one part of the site.

David Bartosik describes one way of doing this and the basic concept.
Personally I prefer to use subfolders to contain the html output from my
different Publisher files, and allow Publisher to use the default index.htm
naming convention. It is easier for me to remember than if I rename the
files, but the concept is the same.
