changing publisher 2003 web page to html for uploading to geociti

[luna_blue]

I have created a web site using microsoft publisher 2003 in the web design
template, but when trying to upload into a free geocities site i get an
invalid file type notification. how can i convert the file into html which
would be compatible for upload using publisher?

What type of html output is required by geocities? Publisher defaults to an
index.htm and a index_files folder for html output. You can save the files
with the .html extension if you want. What about that doesn't work in
geocities?

Thank david, i was able to upload successfully the index of the web site
which was filtered html, but the other pages still remained as a publisher
file, which is a bit of a bind as the main info is on those pages.
I am a new commer to web publishing and find it challenging but am
determined to get it right. Geocities site is fine, the problem lays with my
end at the moment.
Thanks again, any input is appreciated.

It sounds like you just aren't uploading the index_files folder. Reference
these articles about uploading:

If however you have uploaded the index_files folder and the links do not
open the pages other than you home page, it could be another problem. In
that case, post the URL of your website, and we will take a look.

In the future I would recommend that you not post your question in another
thread...it is more likely that you will get an answer if you post it
separately.

Perhaps this article will help...it sounds like you are writing your links
to a file on your computer. Scroll to the bottom of this article:
