Re: can't move picture

No not unethical...you wrote the html it's your's you can do whatever you
want with it. But, if you originally wrote it in standard html, to convert
it to Publisher would be kinda like converting an English document to
Esperanto.

Ask your friend with FP if his host allows for subwebs/subsites, if so, he
could create a subweb/subsite for you to put your content in then you could
ftp to the subweb without breaking the FP SEs on his main site.

|
| A couple years back I created some html files using a fairly basic html
| editor program (arachnophilia). A friend offered to host them for me
| on his server so I ftp'd the files to his server. Recently he changed
| his server to one with Frontpage Server Extensions. Therefore, I can
| no longer ftp new/edited files to his server - I have to use something
| like Frontpage.
|
| I cannot afford Frontpage, not even the 60$ "disc only" I saw for sale
| online. Nor do I know anybody who has Frontpage or Dreamweaver or any
| other such software that will allow me to publish the files to my
| friend's server.
|
| However, I *do* have Publisher 2003. Not ever having used it before I
| thought it would be a simple matter to open one of my html files in it
| and use it to publish to the server.
|
| After playing around with it a bit I now know better. But I have found
| that if I tweak the original html file, then save it as a publisher
| file, then tweak it (edit it) some more in publisher, I can pretty much
| get what I want on to my friend's server.
|
| But I'm curious about this reply from Rob Giordano (Crash):
|
| "Are you saying that you are taking normal html files and converting
| them to
| proprietary Publisher html? Why?"
|
| The word "propietary" makes me think that some may find what I'm doing
| unethical. If so, I don't understand what the problem is. All I'm
| doing is trying to avoid completely rewriting every single page in
| Publisher. So I'm using one feature of Publisher (its web publishing
| ability) and not the page creation features (for the most part). Is
| that an issue?
|
| Hopefully my explanation above explains why I'm trying to do this.
| Believe me, if I had Frontpage available I would use it without
| hesitation (assuming that it can handle standard html code).
|
| Thanks for the replies.
