This gets a little complicated at least for me and need some help.
I have a simple web page that I have designed in PUB and it works just fine
on the server site.
Here's were I have a hiccup of substance.
I have recently upgraded to vista business [separate issue but may be
impacting] running MSOFFICE 2003 Professional including publisher.
I have opened the pages in notepad to add some language allowing pages to
open in separate windows from the main page since there doesn't appear to be
a way to do that in Publisher [if there is I could use the process
information].
I save the individual pages I opened in notepad after inserting the
target=blank language, upload it to my web host server and it runs just fine
in IE any version.
HOWEVER, I cannot re-open it on my hard drive in Publisher after making
those changes.

Problem two is because I can't open in publisher I can't change the encoding
so the whole web page opens in UFT-8 which keeps it from working in Mozilla
or netscape, which the old pages did.

Several problems, but the biggest right now is why can't I get the pages
with modification open up in Publisher? I have much older page designs saved
on the hard drive, and those will open in publisher but don't have the
modifications I made manually.

As indicated those modified changes operate fully in IE both in test preview
and via the remote server?

The problem with making modifications to the code in NotePad is that you
need to do it every time you modify the Publisher file and create new html
output. Make your changes in your Pub file, and then find ways of doing
things other than modifying the code.

Reference: Create a hyperlink in Publisher that opens in a new window:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/publisher/HA011587451033.aspx

And if you choose to use the ECMAScript code approach note that the first
javascript code snippet is incorrect on the website. Use this instead:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">function Show(Url,
Name, Features) { window.open(Url, Name, Features); }</script>

Forgot problem number 2:

Open your Publisher document Tools > Options > Web Tab. Change your encoding
there, and while you are at it, uncheck "Rely on VML..." and "Allow PNG...".

Mozilla and Netscape understand UTF-8, unless they are the very first
releases.

Can't help on the rest. :-(

Thank you both. Looks like I really do need to learn how to use other webpage
software substantially better than relying on pub, but with the suggestions
you have both made, I can simplify my process.
did find a link about changing over to UTF-8 earlier.
