Publisher 2002 Web Publishing Wizard

[Janet]

I was previously using the Publisher98 web publishing
wizard to maintain my websites. I have upgraded to
Publisher 2002 running on Windows XP.

When I try to maintain my web sites with the web
publishing wizard, I can load the web site with Publisher
2002, but when I try to make changes, I cannot find the
way to change the items listed under File/Web
properties/page/File Name in Publisher98. I have been
told to look under Tools/options/Web Options, but I
cannot find any place to change the File Name for the
page. This is when loading a web page created with
Publisher98, and that may be the problem. If I go to
file/export as web page, it does create the same names as
are the default file names in Publisher98, but for some
of my web pages, I have to change the names assigned to
html/htm modules in order for my web pages to work.

I know that I can go to the html/htm modules and change
the names, but that takes a lot of work. In the
meantime, I have gone back to using Publisher98 to
maintain my web sites, as I don't want to commit to
Publisher 2002 until I understand how it works.

I did go to your web site and read all of the postings.
I am incredibly disappointed that Microsoft gave me the
ability to give every page a name in Publisher98, then
took it away in Publisher 2002 and called it an upgrade.
That is not an upgrade, it is a downgrade. I have gone
back to Publisher98 to maintain my web sites, because I
depend heavily on the ability to give names to every
page, so that several modules can be on a site and
function separately. This necessitates I change the img
file names to make them all unique which is time
consuming, but my web sites cannot work without this
function.

I tried to print out your manual, but it was in
PowerPoint, and I don't have it. I have Publisher, Word,
Acrobat, Pagis, Notepad, and Wordpad, and I don't see any
virtue in cluttering up my hard disk with yet another
word processor. If it is available in any of these
formats, I would like to know as I would like very much
to read it.
