unable to see web site using Publisher 2002?

S

Stickman

I have only recently become aware that certain people have been unable to
view my organizations website, whether it be the browser they are using or
otherwise, I have no idea. I created the site using Publisher 2002 and
uploaded it and I have not had any problems viewing it from any computer I
have tried it from. I have heard that using PUB doesnt always use compliant
HTML for all browsers and this could be the reason certain people cant view
it--is this true and any suggestions?

Thanks
Steve

David,

To answer the question, I did not install any service packs but will do so.
Also interesting to note, is that when I direct these people directly t any
other page, they can access the entire site except for the first/home page.
To note, the first page is also the only page I actually put in HTML code for
a scrolling news box and every other page is copy/paste and text boxes and
pix.

Could this also be a problem or is it most probably the service packs-or
lack thereof?

Thanks

Steve

david,

My first problem with 2002 was with the home page and 2002 not creating a
index.htm like built in with 2000 but did figure that out with help from a
web site guy but who cant figure this one out--so far.

website is www.bnaiisraeltomsriver.org or if YOU have problems too, you can
access the entire site except the home page by going to
www.bnaiisraeltomsriver.org/index_files/page0002.htm . Unfortunately being a
religious organization our funds for this is limited and I do the best I can.

As an add-on, will Pub 2003 fix the top problem to make it easier and more
HTML compliant and maybe even this one.

I see you help almost everybody on this site-hope you can do the same for me.

Thanks

Steve

The big problem I found with your site is that you are using the original
2002 bits. This issue is covered numerous times in this forum, you need to
be at Service Pack 3.
Visit http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=32 for the link to SP3
and be sure to visit the FAQ
http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=30
Once you've installed SP 3 you should delete all current site files and
resave and republish.

Version 2003 returned the default naming of index.htm

Help menu, About. Look at version number.

You then use File menu, Export as web page to save and publish.

Excuse me for jumping in, but don't forget to delete all the existing files
on your website as David said, before uploading your new files.
