Please advice, I have created my web site of 3 pages. After uploading it
using the FTP software I can only see the first page of my site, I click on
the navigation buttons but nothing happens. I have recreated my web pages
about three times now and cannot understand what I am missing.

Please help!

I have exactly the same problem, but your link below doesn't seem to lead me
to any solution. I'm using Publusher 2003 via FTP. Currently I've got a one
page website, which has loaded well with all the graphics, but now I want to
upload my website containing 35 pages, only the first page shows without
graphics and wrong background colour. When I press 'publish to the web', it
only takes 3 seconds to convert my file into .htm as if only the first page
is recognised. I really don't know how to make Publisher 'see' the complete
file. I'm desperate!

When you publish a multipage Publisher website, if you have not changed the
default settings you will get both an index.htm file and a index_files
folder that contains all the other pages and supporting images. Delete your
old files on your host, and upload both the index.htm file and the
index_files folder to your site.

Thank you so much! I've done that and it's worked! It's a shame that that
wasn't made clear in the Publisher help pages. I'm glad I found your website
:)

Thanks again!

I saw your reply on “pictures won’t show after uploadingâ€

www.braintumorawareness.org/ppdonatelink.htm

is the URL where the images aren’t displaying and this is only one of 3
publisher 2007 files that I have published that don’t display the images even
when the images have been uploaded in the ppdonatelink_files folder and
copied under the public_html/images folder
My last website was published totally with publisher 2003 and I had no
issues. I did publish this file to the public_html folder instead of the
index_files folder. Could this be the issue?
I also tried the suggestion of deleting the ppdonatelink_files folder and
the ppdonatelink.htm file off of my server and republishing on the site and
the result was the same.

Frontend extensions are enabled on my server and I haven’t been able to gain
any other insight from my host-hostgator as to what the issues are. The
Office 2007 version is for my non-profit so there isn’t any other support and
all Office updates have been performed.

If you aren’t able to assist, please direct me further. I need it asap. (of
course)

I tried to follow your description of how you produced and published your
web files, and how you organized them on the web host, and got lost.Your
issues are how you have the directory organized on your host, and you
probably aren't uploading the Publisher webfiles to the correct place in
that directory.

The page you have published right now shows that when you Published to the
Web to produce your publisher webfiles, that instead of saving as the
default "index.htm", you saved as "ppdonatelink.htm". When you do this then
the supporting folder that contains all the graphics and images for that
page will be in a folder called "ppdonatelink_files", instead of the default
"index_files" folder. Here is the path to one of your images that is written
on your current page:
http://www.braintumorawareness.org/ppdonatelink_files/image2931.jpg

It isn't there, which probably means that you did not upload the
"ppdonatelink_files" folder, intact with the images inside. And if you did,
you uploaded it to the wrong place in the web host directory. Upload the
"ppdonatelink_files" *folder* at the same level as the "ppdonatelink.htm"
*file* and your images should work.
