While using Microsoft Publisher (to convert webpage to
Front Page) I try to insert a media clip, i.e., *.wmv
from the Clip Gallery and an error message says: "Clip
Gallery could not create a preview image for file *.*.
This may be due to a missing, corrupted or incorrest
version of a graphics or import filter or media player."
What's the problem and can you help me.
Also, when I insert a media i.e., *.mpg file into front
page (convert from Publisher) it will not play from my
website on Windows Media Player. What's the problem
here? thanks for your assistance.

I strongly recommend against moving Publisher made web pages into FrontPage.

Use one or the other.

That said, you do not insert a media clip into a Publisher web publication.
It's simply not relevant in a Publisher document. In a web site files are
linked to one another. If you want a media file on your site then you upload
the file and you link to it from a hyperlink on a web page.

The functionality is different then in FrontPage. In FP you are working with
a "web" versus a document.
I can't speak for our issue when using FP - you'd have to visit the FP
forum - but I would feel safe saying it's because you're doing something I
already said you shouldn't do. The 2 products write code that is very very
very fundamentally different from one another.
