Hi
I have published a website to the internet using ftp.
When we click on links to go to pages on our website, the url comes up as
something along the lines of www.website.com.au/default_files/Page393.htm
Is there any way of being able to change these to words we want to use
instead?

Any help would be apreciated.

Thanks DavidF.

How would i name the page myself? And how would i not use the default
supporting folder?

Tools > Web page options > File name

Tools > Options > Web tab > uncheck "...supporting folder..".

And...when you choose the new file name, go to that page before you go to
Tools. And you really should use index.htm as your default home page.

And...if you are using Pub 2003, when you go to the Web tab, also uncheck
"rely on vml..." and "allow png...".

That will teach me to quit trying to be succinct <g>.

"index.xxx?" is usually default home page for *nix servers
"default.xxx?" is usually default home page for windows servers

Not sure why it's like that.

| Thanks. I have never run across that information before. Do you happen to

| <g>.
|

is
| what I am used to...and possibly because I think it would look strange to

| http://www.website.com/default_files/Page393.htm or
| http://www.website.com/default_Page393.htm
| which is what you would see if you saved the Publisher generated home page
| as default.htm.
|
| To someone else's eyes, that might look fine.
