Hi All,

I'm new to Publisher, but "well-versed" in other DTP programs and HTML.

My issue is that when I save a PUB file as HTML, it saves some of the
graphics as PNG files, which don't display properly on our company's older
MSIE 5.0 browsers (I know, we need to upgrade them, but that's another
story.).

Anyway, I checked the Web options in Publisher and the PNG option is NOT
enabled, but it still saves the graphics as PNGs. What can I do to fix this?

Thanks for your help.

I have installed Office 2003 SP1, but Publisher STILL saves many of the
graphics as unusable PNG files.

Can anyone provide assistance?

Thanks,

Phideaux

Hi Phideaux,

Is this a new Publisher website you created from scratch?

What format are the graphics you're inserting and
how are you adding them to your Publisher document?

What format do they show as in the task pane in Publisher 2003
when you use Tools=>Graphics Manager?

What settings do you have in Tools=>Web Page Options=>Web Site=>Web?

Hi Bob,

This is for an existing company intranet, though this is the first time
we're adding anything that was created in Publisher.

The images that get converted to PNG are native black and white JPGs and
that's what the Graphics Manager shows them as. They were added by the
Insert>Picture command. (Is there another way to do it?)

In the Web options tab, everything is unchecked.

Thanks for your help,

Phideaux

AFAIK, this is a known issue and by design and will not be addressed in
Publisher 2003.

Sorry, I'm confused, in a previous message MVP Mary said it was fixed in
SP-1.

Hi phideaux -

i have the same problems - dont know what to do really
PNG makes the website much too large -

Mary says one thing, another person says something else...
its irritating that its impossible to get a correct answer.

it has nothing with your, or mine, design of our websites -

best - Lars Nielsen
