Microsoft Publisher 2002 - Small Business Office

[Stan Stobbe]

I designed and published a webpage using Microsoft
Publisher(MP). The design process was quite easy and
testing went well using the Netscape and Internet
Explorer browsers. However, when it came to accessing it
online, the pages loaded very slowly even after reducing
the size of the picture files. Also I noticed that
editting and saving the MP files caused the files to
increase in size even more. Why are the HTML coded
webpages 200K to 500K in size while others composed in a
simple HTML editor program only 5K to 10K bytes in size?
Can anyone help?

Hi Stan,

The default behavior of MS Office XP apps for
web pages is to keep them 'round trippable' (preserve
all contents) of the original app they were produced
in so they can be re-edited/re-constitituted.
For Publisher 2002 the ability to save in 'filtered'
(slimmer) web page styles is part of an update patch
available on http://office.microsoft.com/downloads
