Yeah, I know about good intentions. In fact I have been getting lazy, and
after reading your post I will be backing everything up this weekend. I
think a good rule of thumb might be to periodically ask yourself "how much
work would it involve to recreate this file if my computer crashed right
now? Could I even recreate it?" If its a couple hours, that's one thing. If
it is a website file that you perhaps spent weeks on...that is another
story.

This also applies to Pub 2007. After reading a good discussion of how to
back up your files, at the end of the article is a method for rebuilding
your Publisher file from the html files. Its tedious, but it will work,
and
of course as you go through it, you will be reminded to backup in the
future.
Please don't misunderstand. I am not throwing stones, as I too live in a
glass house and have lost important files because I didn't get around to
backing up. I would imagine almost everyone has. Files go corrupt and
hard
drives crash. I have found that I do keep a flash drive handy and backup
files every hour or so as I work on them, and before I eventually backup
to
an external drive, and periodically burn DVDs. I also regularly burn
images
with Acronis True Image, because I really hate to do reinstalls.
Sorry there isn't an easier method.

Few months ago. I developed a web site. with pub 2007.
My laptop has since crashed and no longer have the original pub files i
have
tried to import the site but each time it is all over to one side and
if i
attempt to just simply realign everything. It saves corrupt with
missing
information. Any ideas suggestions would be greatly Apreciated.
Thanks in Advance
Pat
