I took David Bartosik's advice
(http://www.davidbartosik.com/pub2k/pub2k_6.htm)
and split a lengthy web page into separate files.  I have uploaded
each .pub file to a separate directory in file manager at my web
hosting company.  I am having trouble linking between directories.

For example, I have one directory called
www.mydomainname/PricesandOrdering
and want to hyperlink to www.mydomainname/AboutUs.

In Publisher,I insert a hyperlink on the PricesandOrdering page:
I choose to link to a website or file on the Internet and enter the
following:
http://www.mydomainname.com/AboutUs/Index.html

It looks fine.  However, when upload my files and go "live" the
hyperlink now reads:
(when I am on the PricesandOrdering page and wish to go to the AboutUs
page)
www.mydomainname.com/PricesandOrdering/Index.html/AboutUs/Index.html

Publisher puts the name of the page I am ON in the middle of the URL
link. And so the link does not work.

I have tried renaming the index pages.
I have tried typing the link without http://www.mydomainname in front
of the URL in the link box (ie. PricesandOrdering/Index.html)

I'm stumped.  Can you help?  (I am wondering if it is impossible to
link between separate files, or if each file must link back to a "MAIN
MENU" or Home page and then out to another page.)

this is covered in the article.

Actually 'index' is the default on a web folder so you don't need to enter
the index.html in the url. For example when visiting my site you type in
www.davidbartosik.com rather than www.davidbartosik.com/index.html (actually
mine is default.asp but that's not relevant). So www.myname.com/aboutus is
sufficient and normal practice.

For it to make the link that way I would be willing to bet that you aren't
entering the "http://" prefix.

Also double-check you aren't using make a lnk within the file, but rather to
internet.

I think you are failing to enter the http://

Also it is not a good idea to use uppercase and lowercase file names.

it's recommended practice to use all lowercase.

all bad ideas.

any file can link to any file.

I detailed this in the article.
