Can Publisher save the file name specified under Web Page Options.

[proliney]

Before I Publish my Web I am specifying a File name in the "Web Page Options"
window so my links are maintained when I update the pages. The problem is
that when I go back to the .htm file that I used to create the web pages the
file name field is now blank. This causes me to have to re-enter all the
file names which is very time consuming. Is there anyway to have Publisher
maintain those file names?

when you say "back to htm file" that leads me to suspect you are not properly
creating and maintaining a web publication.
Did you create a .pub file?
After you create a new web publication you save it as the .pub file.
That pub file is the site entity. It is what you modify, you do not modify
htm files.
From the pub file you use File, Publish as ... to generate the html and
image files that comprise the web site and are uploaded to a server.
The pub file and the web site files are separate entities. Refer to what I
wrote on http://www.publishermvps.com/WebDesign/tabid/29/Default.aspx - left
side column.

David:

Thanks for the help, that is what was happening. I was modifing the .htm
files instead of the .pub files.
