Have you considered saving your catalog as a "PDF" file that can be
downloaded by the user? There are many advantages to this process.

Dear Jan,

It's possible that you need something more powerful than Publisher to
accomplish what you want to do on a website. Publisher is basically a desktop
publishing application that is able to export HTML code.

If you want to tell us more about your problem, please include what version
of Publisher you are using. And PLEASE do not type all caps. To the reader,
it looks like you are shouting.

The simplest solution is to create an iframe in an html fragment:
<iframe name="catalog" src="catalog.html" frameborder=0 width="suitable
width in pixels i.e: 200" height="suitable height in pixels i.e.: 350"
scrolling=yes></iframe>
Make the html fragment box a couple of pixels larger than the width and
height specified in the iframe tag.

Then create a stand-alone page of suitable length and fill it with the
contents of your catalog, making sure that each entry will fit in the width
of the iframe. Finally, save this stand-alone page as a webpage and rename it
"catalog.html".

Post-scriptum:
the dimensions of the iframe indicated in my previous post are purely
arbitrary and evidently very small, especially if there are pictures in the
catalog. Use whichever dimensions suit your needs.
If the contents of your catalog do not fit into one long page, create as
many catalog pages as you need, i.e.: catalog1.html, catalog2.html, etc...
and don't forget to put a linked pages menu on each of them, preferably at
both top and bottom of the page i.e: page1 | page2 | page3 etc...

I've found that sometimes when you find you can't do something it's a good
time to consider if there's a more suitable approach. For example, does the
content have a good reason to be in a scroll box versus being the page
content. And what about the user experience, is it more user friendly to
access the content on a full page and scroll the page as needed versus being
restricted to a box that requires scrolling while on a page that probably
requires more strolling.
