How do I upload a Publisher website to the Internet?

[Geoff Tyson]

I have followed the book word by word and produced a website in Publisher
which I cannot upload to the Web. People tell me that it is impossible! I
went to a Webmaster but he said it can't be done. Is this true? - I bought
Publisher especially for this job and now I can't find anyone who can make it
work.
I subscribed to Zen and have a domain name.

Hope somebody can advise me what to do as I have put a lot of work into this
thing and it may be for nothing.

Thanks Geoff Tyson

Geoff,
It is certainly possible (mine is stictly Pub 2003 and uploaded with an
FTP and it works great in IE and Firefox) but you have to tell us what
you have done and what Versions of Pub and FTP if you are doing it that
way, you are using.
I am sure DavidF will give you the right answers but he will need more
to go on than you have given us so far.

I don't know that I would have advised you to buy Publisher just for
producing websites, but you did...and need a bit more learnin'...

Start with this reference: Prepare, publish, and maintain your Publisher Web
site

Then the three articles about uploading here:

I didn't mean to put you off to using Publisher, its just that it is a DTP
primarily, with limited web building capability. So if you had bought it for
primarily DTP use, that would have been different. As you have Serif, that
particular program has gotten good reviews by several people in this
newsgroup, and their customer support is supposedly excellent, so I would
suggest that in the long run, you might be happier if you put your energies
into learning how to use it for web building. That is what it is
specifically designed to do. Good luck.
