Move site from 2003 to 2007

[rjlump54]

Our church site was created in Publisher 2003. I've upgraded to 2007. When
I opened the site, edited it. When I save the page it wants me to give it
another file name. What does this do to the pages already created? I need
to understand the process for moving this site into Publisher 2007, editing,
saving and then be able to upload the site in FTP.

You open the original Publisher file, not the web site, in Publisher, make
your changes and Publish to the Web and produce new web files and upload
those to the server. You would still use 'index.htm' as the default name for
the home page.

Hello,

I've attempted to do this, with less than positive results. Here are the
steps:
1 - Open the folder containing the site files in Publisher 2007
2 - Make changes to the Home Page
Note: Here lies the problem, I've tried it two different ways
3 - Click Save As
The file name text box is highlighted with "index" already inserted
4 - Click Save
The warning tells me the file already exists and asks if I want to
replace it, so I click yes
5 - Then I open my FTP and upload the file I changed, but when I open the
website, the changes have not taken

So tell me, what am I doing wrong.

Hopefully the confusion is terminology.

When you say that you are opening the folder containing the "site files" are
you talking about opening the index.htm file and/or the other .htm files? If
so, that is incorrect. You open the original Publisher file...the .pub file,
make your changes, Publish to the Web which produces a new index.htm file
which is your home page, and a new index_files folder which contains your
other pages and all your supporting graphic files. Upload both the index.htm
file and the index_files folder and they should overwrite your old site
files.
