OK, I've just read this answer also. I am now getting the meassage that I
should not mix Word html files. However, searching thru these questions a few
days ago, I read answers about linking to external sites (eg Word) being
possible as long as the Word doc is also uploaded to the server.

Is this a no no, or is this OK as long as the Word file is not saved as a
Webpage format.....e.g can I upload a normal Word doc?, can I link to this
normal doc?, and is this OK?....will links created on this Word doc still
work?

Use Word to edit the text boxes in your Publisher document, not Web Page
Preview. Select a text box > Edit > Edit Story in Microsoft Word . Make your
changes in Word then File > Update, and your Publisher document will be
updated and you can close Word. Produce all your HTML files from Publisher.
As Rob said, don't try to mix them.

I'm building a site. When I do the Web Page Preview, it allows me to "Edit
with MS Office Word" in the "File" menu. This is great as it allows me do
"Borders and Shading" to text as I am wishing, and it also retains the
navigation bar.

I am able to save these changes as an html file on my computer, however
there is no change to the original Publisher file. I think that I have
worked
out that I need to create a link from my publisher file to this new html
file
(which I have saved in my documents), and this link works great to my MS
Word
altered html page.

The problem is that the navigation bar on the MS Word html page does not
link back to the original publisher file. I have tried publishing my
website
to my hard drive, which has transformed the pages into html format and
given
them index files to follow. I then went back to my MS Word html document,
and
made each navigation bar button link to these new index files, however
this
has made no difference when actually looking at the website.

I manually created links in the navigation bar of the MS Word html
document
to each index file which looked like this:
../../../../My%20Documents/testwebpage/index_files/Page353.htm

However when actually looking at the website and hitting the same
navigation
bar it directs me to this (and says the page cannot be displayed):
C:\My Documents\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\Content.MSO\PubWebPagePreview\pub3916.188\index_files\Page353.htm

What am I doing wrong? I am just testing the links before it goes to the
web, however I realize that the links will also need to be changed to the
correct web addresses in the future

Thanks Deech
