In my long winded reply to you yesterday, among other things, I pointed out
one big difference between Pub 2000 and 2003 that is probably applicable
here:
"One of the differences in the way Pub 2000 and 2003 can be seen in your
welcome page, or "splash page". You have constructed the page by overlapping
a text box with a fancy border with at least two images. You can layer
images and text like this in 2003, but Pub 2000 will convert all those
objects into one image. You can see this for yourself by opening a blank web
page in Pub 2000 and opening your publication in 2003. Then File > Select
All > Copy. Move to your Pub 2000 page and paste. Do a web page preview in
both and see if you can see the difference."
This meant among other things that the way you overlapped images and text
boxes on the splash page would result in one big, new gif. In the process of
combining all those elements, you may also loose transparency. If you are
going to use Pub 2000, you will have to change your designs
accordingly....or stay with 2003.
If you are wanting a freebie image editor, http://irfanview.com is a pretty
good one. It has the capability of creating transparent gif images. If you
buy one, I like Adobe Photoshop Elements for the money.
Another difference between 2000 and 2003...they use different clipart, which
may also affect your design approach. Also don't forget that you are limited
to ten pages if you want to use the navbar wizard in Pub 2000. Pub 2003 does
not have this limitation.
As you try 2000 and 2003, be sure to save backup files of each version. You
cannot open 2003 files in 2000, and opening 2000 files in 2003 can result in
some unpredictable results.
Welcome to the "fun" of web design. Some things work the way you want...some
don't. That is another reason to test your work as you go with both IE and
FF.

I know this issue is somewhere on this forum but its 1am and I cannot find
it
for the life of me.
Here is my problem I created a site in pub2003 decided to redo it in 2000
after much reading here. the problem is the images that I have saves as
gif.
in a file on my desktop when inserted into 2000 are not right. for example
I
have my company logo that is saved as a gif. image when I put it into 2003
it
is on as transparent background as it should be when I put it in 2000
(same
file) the box shows up but no image is contained in it.
Then some images saved as gif. have NO background and some DO when I
insert
them and they are all saved with NO background. Can someone explain whats
going on here?
Also I seem to collect a lot of images clip art and photos with background
I
don't want, I usually like to remove this can someone make a recommend a
program that is good for this kind of stuff and perhaps one that is good
for
editing the image its self.
Thanks for helping
