Re: change design of Website with Publisher 07?

Yes, I have the original Publisher file for the website. I was not the
original creator, though, and so I don't know why the file was made without a
template. Since the file has no template, I have considered that I may need
to recreate it in Pub 07 using a template... which will then hopefully enable
me to have students experiment with changing its design (do you know if it
will?). The point of the exercise is to 1) teach students how to apply
different designs to a website (similar to how one can apply different themes
to a PowerPoint presentation) and 2) teach students to apply an appropriate
design based on objective, audience, and tone.

If that is what you are asking there is a manual method, but no automatic
method.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work... likely because my existing website has
no
template. Therefore, in the Format Publication task pane, I can only click
Apply a Template, not Change Template. After I choose a design, Pub 07
closes
my site and creates a new publication based on the template of the design
I
chose. I'll rephrase my question - Is there any way to apply a design (not
a
template) to an existing site that has no template? Thanks again!

When I open an existing web publication in Publisher 2007, go to Format >
Format Publication > Web Site Options > Change Template..., a Change
Template dialog opens and I can select a different design and optionally
Customize the Color scheme, Business information and under Options the
Navigation bar. If I only change the design, and click OK, then another
dialog pops up that asks whether I want to "Apply template to current
publication" or "Create a new publication using my text and graphics".
Choose the first option.

If that is not the specific work flow you are following, or you get
different results, then post back as to the steps you take.

I develop computer-based curriculum for schools. I am currently updating
a
web publishing unit to use the new Publisher 07. I have an existing
website
that was created using a prior version of Publisher, and I want to
change
the
site's design but I'm unable to do so. Specifically, I click Apply a
Template, choose a website design, and then click Apply template to
current
publication. Instead of applying the template/design to my existing
site,
Publisher 07 closes my site and creates a new publication based on the
template/design I chose. Is there any way to apply a design to an
existing
site? Thanks!
