MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / May 2004How to apply music to website
How do you apply music to only one page of a multi page website? A better question is WHY would you apply music to ANY page of a website. (Sorry, I really hate that and will close that site out in a heartbeat if music starts. I find it annoying and unless there is information I MUST have on that page, I'm out of there.)  SignatureJoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] > How do you apply music to only one page of a multi page website? I hate those flash intros too, but there are times when it is appropriate. For example, I'm putting together a site on which there are pages people can go to to see a gallery of pictures or a video from special events which include music and commentary. People will KNOW that this is what they will get when they click the link. I'd like to know how to do it too. Thanks. > A better question is WHY would you apply music to ANY page of a website. > (Sorry, I really hate that and will close that site out in a heartbeat if > music starts.

Flash intros are another annoyance. I skip them whenever possible. I'm a plain website kind of gal - I'm there for the info. If I'm visiting a site such as you described, then I'd like a disclaimer before entering that page. If the music is appropriate and serves a purpose, then sure, add it. But If I visit a site for info and have some tinny music tinkling in the background - see ya!

I agree completely. My point was that I am trying to link from one page to another. On the linked page there are a selection of images with the music from the event. Other pages have images and spoken word. I've chosen to put them on separate pages so that people can read the link information then go to the page of their choosing and have the music/commentary start as soon as the page opens. It's their choice and they know exactly what's coming. So how do I do it???? Thanks > Flash intros are another annoyance. I skip them whenever possible.

I gotta tell you, I use Front Page for my websites, not Publisher. IMO, Publisher is great for DTP. Period. I know that MS promotes Publisher as being good for websites but I just don't feel it's the proper tool. Sorry.

But until I get my head around Adobe GoLive and Flash (full sites, not just jiggles and tunes), Publisher was a pretty quick fix. I used to have Frontpage, but Office XP 2003 only came with Publisher (unless I missed something in the install.) > I gotta tell you, I use Front Page for my websites, not Publisher.

If you had it once, why don't you still have it? You can use a lesser version of FP with Office. I am running FP 2002 (for now) with Office 2003. Works fine.

Once upon a time I had it installed on systems running Win98. All new stuff on all our machines meant XP Pro and Office 2003. I suppose I could dig out some old copies of Office and reinstall it, but like I said, Publisher is just temporary until I get a good handle on GoLive. > what do you mean you used to have FP?

You can take a bit more time to learn GoLive then. I've heard that program has a pretty steep learning curve. I've never used it so I don't know firsthand.

Is this what Microsoft teaches you? (re)install? Do a custom install and use FP. If I have to do a custom install it will be OS X10 or Linux. You can take a bit > more time to learn GoLive then. No, I'll just go "Tools/Web Page Options/"add background music to page" and select loop options. I've heard that program has a pretty steep > learning curve. Yes. Unlike the MVP process. I've never used it so I don't know firsthand. Much like you don't know Publisher, or did you just not want to tell me? > > Once upon a time I had it installed on systems running Win98.

To do this in Publisher 2000 you would insert your music file into the background by going to File > Web Properties > Page > Background Sound. However, if you want it to play on only one page, you need to separate that page by creating a seperate Publisher file and then linking the new page to your main page. David Bartosik explains how to build a site with multiple Publisher files here: http://www.davidbartosik.com/pub2k/pub2k_6.htm The techinique should be basically the same for Pub 2003.
