I assume that I'm not alone here in having no clue what you're saying. Then
or now. There are just too many huge holes in your post. Since you evidently
don't know how to redo it, I'll just try to break it down into pieces to
tackle separately....

What version of Publisher is being used? What is this folder you speak of?
Version 2003 will create an "index_files" folder if using the subfolder
option. I know of no homepagefiles folder. This folder you speak of, did
Publisher create it or you? Where is this folder? Are you speaking of a
folder on the web server or on your local PC? These images you speak of, are
they Publisher generated images or are they your original images? Did you put
the images in the folder or did Publisher? Are the images still in the
Publisher web publication file?

Text content is in the folder. Huh? You mean the folder contains only the
htm files? Publisher generates htm files which would have "content" (coded in
the html), it also generates image files, so you have both image files and
htm files. I can only assume you are referring to opening the file
"index.htm"? Are you speaking of opening it locally in your browser or our
you speaking of opening it and viewing it on the web site online? The red X
simply means the browser did not locate the image at the path specified in
the html.

Picture Manager was introduced in version 2003 of Office so I guess I can
assume you are using Pub 2003. But what does this statement have to do with
Publisher? It is used to manage image files in the My Pictures folder and is
a simple picture editor. Are you saying that the original images are intact
in your My Pictures folder and you can view them in Picture Manager? I don't
get the relevance of this paragraph.
> I have re inserted the images and hopefully it wont happen again.
I don't even know what "it" is. Reinserted images? Where? Into the Publisher
file? Into a mystery file? On your web server? Into Uncle Bobby's scrap book?
I don't know what, where, or why.

There are viruses that are intended to go thru the infected host hard drive
and delete all image files. I however have no clue if you are saying that
image files on your local pc are gone. FWIW, I've been here about 5 years and
I think this is the deepest vaguest mud I've seen yet. But at least I'm
trying.

So images in a folder on your local PC are gone. Ok, so what is this folder?
What does it have to do with Publisher (version?) ? Are saving a Publisher
web publication locally first and then copying it to the server? If so why?
Publishing instructions are at I assume that I'm not alone here in having no

Ok, so image files on your PC are missing. Wouldn't this be a bigger issue
then using Publisher? What is this folder? How does this relate to Publisher?

Are you saving the Publisher web publication as a web to your local PC and
then copying that to the web server? If so why? Publishing directions are
available at
http://www.publishermvps.com/WebDesign/Version2003/tabid/33/Default.aspx The
directions explain using Publisher to publish directly to the server. There
is no reason to maintain local copies of the site files since the site is
self-contained in the Publisher file. You only need to keep the Pub file on
hand locally. The Publisher file is the only thing that should be backed up.
There is no reason to backup the site files, since you can open the pub file
and generate the site files at any time.
