CC, I have read both your posts several times and am still not clear about
what you want to do. I am going to assume that you have multiple images on
each web page, and that rather than providing a link to just that page, you
want to provide a link that will not only take your client to that page, but
also directly to where the image is located on that page.

Though it will be a lot of work with 600 images, you can accomplish what I
just described by "bookmarking" each images. You will use the "insert html
code fragment" tool in Publisher to insert an "anchor tag" right above each
image, and then write a link to that anchor tag. Your link will look
something like this:
http://yourdomain.com/thepicturepage.htm# ImageName
Then when you click on that link you will be taken to that page, and it will
load with the image at the top of your browser window.

To better understand how to do this, read the following article about
"Bookmarks aka Hyperlinking to a place on a page"
http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/archive/2006/01/09/81265.aspx

Alternatively, you could create a thumbnail page of your images, and put
each full sized image on its own page: "How to Thumbnail in Publisher Web
Publications":
http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/archive/2006/01/07/80553.aspx

If neither of these approaches accomplish your goal, then repost with the
version of Publisher you are using, and more details as to what you want to
do.

I think what CC is saying is that when viewed in a browser you cannot select
individual images in a Pub website, like you can with a website created by
other means. You know the way Pub kinda turns the whole page into an image
so you cannot right click on an indivdual image for it's url to be able to
link to it from outside. I think(?)

Ok...I see what you are saying. Thanks.

You are partially right about how Publisher works. In Pub 2003, Microsoft
decided that it would be a good thing to disable the right click option of
selecting and saving an image from a Publisher built website. Unfortunately
they did not include a mechanism to turn this feature off. In Pub 2000, you
can right click an image, and I have found several code snippets that I can
insert via the "insert html code fragment" feature that will disable the
right click, and/or the image toolbar that is built into IE, so you have
options with Pub 2000.

As per the "turns the whole page into an image...", this is an option when
you send a Pub 2003 document via email vs. HTML. Furthermore if you overlap
an image with a text box, then Publisher combines the two elements into an
image. And if you use a non-web font, Publisher can sometimes convert that
text to an image. However if a text box is standing free and clear of other
elements, then that text can be selected and copied, including using the
right click > copy approach. Generally Publisher does not convert the whole
page to an image if used correctly when producing a webpage.

CC,

Based on how Rob interpreted your message, if you are wondering how a viewer
can capture a single image from your website, that will depend on your
version of Publisher. As I said in my reply to Rob, if you are using Pub
2003, then you cannot right click > save picture as. That function is
disabled by design by Microsoft (for better or worse). However there are
several ways you can access the image.

If you go to your webpage where the image is located in IE, then you can go
to View > Source and the source code for that page will be opened in
Notepad. You can then look through the code to find the name of the image,
and once you find it, write a link directly to that image, and you will be
able to right click and save it. This might look like
http://yoursite.com/index_files/image3521.gif The problem with this
approach is that the code is so extensive that it might be hard to find the
correct file name of the image. You might publish a copy of your HTML files
to your desktop to study, in order to more quickly find the name of the
image.

Alternatively, if you do want to import your images into your web page
instead of embedding them, I can give you instructions on how to do this. In
this approach all your images will be contained in a subfolder on your
website, and will retain the file name of your choice...and make it easier
to write a link directly to the image.

Let us know if this is closer to what you were asking.
