Computer Crashed - Web Preview Problems

[MaryB]

I have developed a site in Pub 02 and have used the web
preview feature many times along the way (has not been
activated online yet). Our resident 'computer guy'
crashed my computer this week and I've had to reinstall
Pub 02. The data is ok (everything still there) - but
when I use the web preview feature, 99% of all my
pictures, as well as the background shading, etc, doesn't
show in the browser! There are also some font styles
missing. Do I have to recreate this entire file (so far -
9 pages!)? Help!

The images are retained in the pub file and so should be intact.
Fonts are in the OS and must be available to the Pub file.
The first thing I'd suspect here is that Pub is running in reduced
functionality mode since you have failed to activate it.
Other than that I'd suspect corruption related to the crash that only a new
install of Pub on a clean install of the OS is going to fix.

Thanks David,
I tried creating/adding a new page w/graphics and text
to see if I could preview the new page in the browser
correctly. Again, the new page doesn't preview any
graphics. Should I completely uninstall Publisher and
reinstall? I appreciate your suggestions - this site is a
real 'find'!

Did you activate Pub?
This is clicking the web preview button from inside Pub right?
not launching the browser yourself and viewing the page?
