<center>ing Publisher Webpages

[tomZ]

G'day,
If you're determined to add the <center> tag in your Publisher
generated '.html' files, I located a great freeware program (~120k)
that enables you to do it easily and quickly on all files at once.
Available at http://www.emurasoft.com/replall/index.htm

I've used it successfully with the following data:
Find: </head>
Replace with: </head> <center>
File Types: *.html

All the same caveats and problems of post-Publisher centering still
apply.

Also a belated Thank You to David Bartosik for sharing your
knowledge/insight/knowhow on Publisher and specifically Web design.
Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
tomZ

tomZ,

I finally got around to testing this, and it does work fine in Pub 2000, but
does not seem to work in Pub 2003. Which version of Publisher were you
using?

Nice find and thanks for sharing. I'll be centering now on my 7 page site.
7 pages editing got to be annoying.

Sorry, I should have mentioned I'm using Pub 2000.

I did notice however, when I first added the <center> tag after the
</head> tag using Frontpage 2000, when I saved the amended html
file, Frontpage automatically moved the <center> tag below the
<body............> tag (syntax?).

Perhaps there's more html coding generated with Pub 2003 so the
<center> tag should be placed somewhere other than immediately
following the </head> tag.

I'm a novice at both HTML and Publisher, (and without a copy of Pub
2003), so I'm just guessing :/

Cheers,

Don,
You're welcome

I'm learning Pub 2000 AND trying to help someone who is more of a
novice than me (I?). So I'm trying to find the easiest way to
accomplish what either Pub 2000 or his web host don't support.

tomz,
Thanks...I guessed as much. And yeah, Pub 2003 generates a LOT more code.
Though I use Pub 2000 for my site, I do have a copy of Pub 2003, so I can
test it. Although, I must admit that after looking at my site left justified
for so many years, I think it looks strange centered. I am just not invested
in centering my site. At least you made Don a happy camper.

You should see what a Pub 2003 site looks like using your approach...the
page starts about 16 inches to the right on my 19" monitor...whoooeee!
