can't open files in publisher

[maria]

I have saved my files for my web site in a folder on my
desk top. I wanted to open the web site in publisher and
it will not open as a web site. I have to open each file
individually, so I can't view it or work on it. How do I
open the file?
Thanks,
Maria
Also did you ever find out how come I could not add more
pages to my site? After 400 pages I had an error.

Publisher is not an html editor or web design tool so it doesn't open the
html files for editing. All editing is done in the pub file. The html files
have to be on a web server to be functional as a whole. You can always
create a test folder on your server and publish to the test folder for
testing the pages.
I believe Brian was checking on the page issue, don't think there was a
response yet.

When you save the file, are you choosing, "Save as a web page"?

Are you using the nav bar wizard on this 400 page web file?

Maria,

This is what is considered an out of work space issue. How large/long is
your webpage (dimension length)? Being that it is 400 pages +, do you have
an extensive navigation bar? Or is any of your page going into the scratch
area? For example, if you have a navigation bar that grew with a 400 pg,
publication, and it started hanging into the scratch area, causing the
workspace area to grow in size until it reached the cap (there is a max
coded in of 4 feet in the scratch area) We were able to reproduce the
following error message: "Publisher cannot complete this operation" because
of this particular testing. Let me know if this is triggering any clues on
your end. Also, what is yoru website that this is uploaded to?
