Convert to FrontPage

[Donna]

How do I take my Web Page (created in Publisher) and
convert it to a FrontPage document without having to start
all over!

Having once had a Pub site and wanting to move it to FP and having done
countless tests of the process, I have to recommend that you start over.
You can import the html files (from Pub) into FP and move forward from there
but the results are typically unsatisfactory. And it's not a good idea just
from the standpoint that the code Publisher writes is 150% different than
the code FP writes.

It totally disheartens me to hear you say that. I have had the same question posted in the general Publisher forum, and the general Frontpage forum, and have had no satisfactory responses there either. Nothing seems to work well. I thought I did research before buying Publisher 2003, but apparently, Microsoft really doesn't know how their products work. They do actually state that if you start your website in Publisher, it will easily migrate to Frontpage. Any idea where I can email a complaint letter to Microsoft? I would have saved the money on Office 2003 (purchased exclusively because of Publisher 2003), and the money I just spent on Frontpage, and gone for adobe or dreamweaver. This is not nickle and dime, and I would love to write a letter of disatisfaction to Microsoft

If you bought Office strictly because all you wanted was Publisher, you
spent waaaaaaaaaay too much money.

It is my belief that type of material is written by marketing people not
technical people and the marketing people have never actually done or tried
to do what they write about.
As for a letter, you can send it to me and I'll forward it to my contacts.
