My website looks fine in microsoft internet explorer browser for windows. However, when I try to view it in Macintosh IE 5.1 it's a total mess. Additionally, my brother has Safari IE Mac OS 10 and he said that the left margin on the pages seem non-existent and the text is running off the page Please help. Thank you PJ Publisher's web code isn't supported in these browsers.

And, if so, can I import my existing Publisher website into Frontpage?

Thank you > P FrontPage being an actual web design tool lets you decide what kind of code it should use and therefore what degree of support it will have in browsers. I refer you to microsoft.public.frontpage.client to direct any inquires. Yes you can, in FP go to File, Import, and import the html files. But you don't want to do that. FP code is not the same as Pub code. You'll have a mess. Besides it would be pointless. The Pub code would still be in there. And that's the issue. You need from scratch FP code. It's not a matter of "is FP supported in all browsers" or " is Pub supported in all browsers". It's a matter of "is the 'code they write' supported". Since you control the code in FP the answer is up to you.

I'd like to think that I'm technically savvy, so I'm hoping for the best. That was initially why I chose Publisher -- because I thought it was easier to use. My software arrives today, so I'll check it out. And, also the newsgroup for frontpage that you suggested PJ What the *UCK?! I want my money back! Why on Earth wouldn't a MS product make something that isn't supported on another MS product? I published my first site and discovered it doesn't display on Macs. What am I supposed to do? sh.t! >-----Original Message----- >Publisher's web code isn't supported in these browsers. [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > >. Easy does it. Be calm.

Microsoft did give me my money back, and then some, but I am stuck with a 300 page website stranded in Publisher 2000. It would take perhaps hundreds of hours to build my site from scratch in another product. I tried to move up to Publisher 2002 (XP), but it did not work worth a darn. Then I tried to move to Front Page, and that was a disaster also. I was going to give Publisher 2003 a try, but I see on this forum the HTML is horribly bloated and my uploads are by dialup connection. BTW, the HTML in Publisher 2002 was also bloated, but there was a fix you could download early on (I do not know what was done in the service packs later on). Further, the representation that HTML was a "native language" in Publisher 2002 was outright false advertising. Publisher 2002 cannot even properly process Publisher 2000 files, either.
