many thanks to those that suggested I try serif Page Plus 9.
You were right!
13 hours and I had a brand new 12 page website up and running!
And able to change the source code, with a very helpful forum
It was strange that it took an unhelpful MVP to push me away after using
Publisher since Publisher 95.
Once again many thanks.
Strange that my post disappeared that the unhelpful MVP responded to!?
I hope you don't have too many unhelpful days David!

I can only assume that you posted this message in order to elicit a
response, so I guess I'll provide one.

As I recall you wanted to learn about keyword optimizing techniques, there
are plenty of resources devoted to that, this forum isn't one of them so how
could it meet those needs.
I also recall you had quoted some inaccurate advice, I pointed those errors
out.
And you wanted to edit Publisher code, I stated my (official and
long-standing) recommendation against that practice.
I'll concede that since I was unable to shape my answers to what you wanted
to hear then you are entitled to be dissatisfied.

But in the end you found a tool that meets your needs and that's what's
important.

As far as any missing postings, Microsoft Community Personnel routinely come
thru a forum and delete posts, typically leaving behind the last post in a
thread. There is only so much server space allocated to each forum.

Just because you didn't get the answers you wanted or found that you
couldn't do what you wanted to do with Publisher, this has NOTHING to do
with David. David is one of the MOST helpful and knowledgeable MVPs. So I am
glad you are a happy camper, but you are WRONG about David!

Back to lurking mode now...DavidF

no, that wasn't the question, nothing to do with keywords but something
which one would have thought very pertinent to this forum, my previous
posting follows:
"Thanks David,
I don't think I explained it properly. Below is an example of what I mean.
I am wondering if anyone knows how this is achieved. I use publisher 2000
and have done for many years, to put up 2 websites. I use an html editor to
make the changes after designing and changing in publisher.
"Unfortunately, many Web sites are designed to include navigation links down
the left-hand side of the screen. Typically, this side-bar navigation is
implemented in one or more HTML table cells. By default, your navigation
links will appear in your first table cell.

So, what do you do if you want your body text to appear as the first cell in
order to improve keyword prominence, but still need your navigation links to
appear on the left side of your Web page? Fortunately, there is a solution
by taking advantage of the ROW property of an HTML table.

When using tables, a simple rearrangement of table cells can move your body
text to the top of the HTML code without changing the screen layout. "

Because of your unhelpful response, I have after being with Publisher since
the floppy days, bought a Serif package. Which was recommended by this
forum!
after your unhelpful response.
Having said that, we all have a "bad hair day" but shame for Microsoft to
lose what was a very happy customer.

Respectfully disagree with you
We design and publish web sites with software other than Publisher, or Microsoft, but use it in our email responses and newsletters. From data stored in Outlook,Excel, Word, etc...Very good tool for this purpose
For web site design, editing and publishing...effectively, you have to know your software, and it's limitations
That was the very thing David was pointing out to you. Hopefully when you post questions on your new software's use-groups you will be somewhat more polite to those who try to help.
