I was using Pub 2000, how can I do the following again ?

My website has categories. For example, the main page, a daytime section,
primetime etc.., in the earlier versions of my website, all of them was under
one publisher file. I started having problems cause I had over 50 pages on
them so decided to create a seperate pub file for each section and to upload
them in seperate folders on the web. So www.website.com/Daytime/ had the
files for Daytime. I just had to put the links that corresponded to each
directory and articles and it was fine. Here is my problem with Pub 2007.

You can save your pages only to ways. Either you have the index.htm and the
foler index_files. So every page besides the index comes from this folder. So
now, I have to redo all my links to include the /index_files/ in it.

Or, you can decide not to put those files in that folder. The stupid thing
that happens, is that Publisher goes and adds index_ in front of every page
name. So I I linked my main section to a link in the daytime section, I have
to add the index_ in front. It looks like anyway I want to do it, it won't
just save the files like the old 2000 did ? Is there a solution for this, or
am I doomed to just revert back to the old program !

That's just the nature of the Pub 2003 coding engine and the way it produces
and names the pages. Sorry. Perhaps keep 2003 for print document work, and
2000 for your website work. It is the better version for websites for lots
of reasons beyond what you have already discovered. Don't consider yourself
"doomed", consider yourself lucky that you have 2000. You can run both
versions of Publisher on your computer. I have Pub 97, 2000, 2003 and the
2007 beta installed, and will continue to use Pub 2000.

For more understanding about how Publisher has "evolved" read the articles
on the changes in Pub 2002 and 2003 on this page:

We can always suggest strongly to have that encoding changed ! I would love
to use 9ub 2007 cause what you really do in it is really what you get ! Or I
will have to resign myself in using the new formatting...

I am a little dissapointed.
