from publisher 2003 to html

[massimo]

Hi,
I'm newbie about publisher 2003 and I've a strange problem.
I've created a little web site and I'm trying to publish it, so I've
exported it in html format through "save as" publisher function.
The resulting web site is enormous, it has plenty of useless office tags and
the photos too are enormous.
I mean that I've inserted big photos in it, but using publisher functions,
I've resized and crop them.
But, despite of that, publisher export them in full format, and export too
in
correct (low size) format.
How to force publisher 2003 to create a more "standard" web site?
thanks.

Max

We have been discussing literally all your issues in the last few days. Read
through the other posts for lots of information. But in the meantime...

First go to Tools > Options > Web tab and uncheck "Rely on VML..." and
"Allow PNG...".

Then either resize and optimize your images for the web in a third party
image editing program before you insert them or at least use the compress
graphics function in Publisher. Reference: Compress graphics file sizes to
create smaller Publisher Web pages:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/publisher/HA011266301033.aspx
Resizing and optimizing the images before inserting will give you the
smallest and best quality graphics and total file size.

Then instead of doing the Save As, do a "Publish to the Web" to produce the
html. This will produce "filtered" code without the Office tags and other
code bloat.

Be sure to delete all the old Publisher generated html files off your server
before uploading your new. When you do a Save As to produce your html, some
additional files are produced that won't be overwritten when you upload the
new, and might still affect the way the page loads.
