Converting Publisher to the Web

J

Jenn3750

I have publisher 2003 and cannot seem to convert it to my domain, hosted by
godaddy. Their support is great but they said it is an issue with Publisher.
I dont want to now purchase new software as this has taken me a very long
time...does anyone know what I could be doing wrong?

If you are using the GoDaddy free hosting, this workaround was posted by
Troy:

"Instructions for publishing to an ad-supported free web site through
GoDaddy
using MS Publisher

1. Publish website to folder on local computer first
2. Open "index.htm" in browser window
3. Under the "Page" pulldown menu, select "View Source." This displays a
..txt file, showing the html code.
4. Using find & replace (under the "edit" menu), search for the first
instance of the word, "absolute" in the html code, and replace it with the
word "relative."
5. This process must be repeated for each page individually, by navigating
to each locally-published page from within a web browser, viewing the source
html code, replacing the first instance of "absolute" with "relative," then
saving the file before navigating to the next page.
6. Once finished making changes, the locally saved "index.htm" file and
accompanying folder must be copied and pasted, via ftp client to your
GoDaddy
website, and "voila," you should be up and running!"

If you aren't using the free hosting by GoDaddy, please post any follow up
messages in the webdesign group: microsoft.public.publisher.webdesign
