Finiky Graphics in Web preveiew

[Tafel1]

Graphics creation.
BG pic/word art overlay/semi transparent pattern overlay/group objects
Web page preveiw looks sharp and crisp like created.

Come back to Publisher, ungroup objects , add a colored boarder or another
line.
group objects again. Web page preveiw shows the image with what looks like
decompposed pixels - grainy !

Is there a photo "K" size limit to what you can create with Publisher 2003?

THis may or may not help. When I started fooling around with graphics and
ungrouping...I'd go back to Pub and it looked awful. Go up to view on your
toolbar and undo the boundaries and guides. Does that help?

Michele ;
My problem seems to be just when Preveiwed in a Brouser. It always looks
good when I close the brouser and come back to Pub.

Thanks for the response !

Publisher can not convert every thing that you can do with a print document
into HTML. Adding a border for example will frequently convert everything to
a lower quality image, as will overlapping design elements in some
cases...and adding fill to a text box....or using a non web friendly
font...sometimes. You can test for the image conversion by trying to select
and copy the text in the web preview. If it has been converted to an image,
then you won't be able to copy the text.

Unfortunately, I can't tell you everything that works, and doesn't work.
Your approach of previewing as you make design changes is the best you can
do, and when you find something that doesn't work, then change your design.
Welcome to web design by trial and terror...

In the future I would encourage you to post your web related question in the
sub group microsoft.public.publisher.webdesign
