Hello,

David, you have helped me several times before, and I hope you can help me
again. I was not able to find this on your Web site.

How can I upload 3 PDFs to my Web site created in Publisher 2000? Each file
is about 800KB. It is an e-book that I will be selling. The buyer clicks on
a button to submit payment information and then clicks on a link back to a
page on my Web site to download the three separate files.

Thank you very much.

Janice

If you link to the pdf locally and then publish, 2000 should include the pdf
in the site files and upload it for you. Or you can just upload the pdf
files and note the url of them and link to the urls off the web page.
But as far as e-commerce is concerned Publisher has nothing built in to
support that. You'd have to use a third-party like paypal, or bcentral, or
yahoo store, and then incorporate their pages into yours.

Thanks, but can you tell me what I would do to link to the PDF locally? Also
how would I upload the PDF files to my Web site? Is one of these options
easier than the other? Is it similar to building a site with multiple files?
I do have five pages of my Web site that will be affiliated with the PDFs so
I can do that, but I still do not know how I would attach the PDFs.

My Web site is 19 pages, including those five created using the "add another
page on my site" option. These pages have a vertical navigation bar for the
first ten pages only, so I have had to create links to each page. Would I
have to recreate these pages as plain pages (no navigation bar)?

Sorry to ask so many questions, I'm just not sure what the next step is and
I'm trying to integrate everything. I already have paypal. I just have to
put it all together.

Thank you so much for your help.

Janice

select item to be linked, right-click, select hyperlink, chose file on hard
drive and browse to the pdf ( or any file type ).
version 2000 uploads such external files (after you do the above) for you.
