Thanks, David, I will do & read. My next goal is to make a customer photo
gallery (in PS), & put it up as well.

Congrats! and thanks for posting back.

It sounds like you are/were just using the uploading tool in the control
panel of your host to upload one file at a time. Be sure to read: Prepare,
publish, and maintain your Publisher Web site:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/publisher/HA100947601033.aspx
to understand other ways to upload, so you can do it all at once. Also,
consider downloading, installing and using FileZilla, which is a FTP client
that makes uploading and managing your site files easier, as long as you
aren't using a form. http://filezilla-project.org/ Take the time to also
download the excellent documentation on how to use it and read it.

TA-DA! Thanks again. This is the first page I've ever put on the web. The
problem was, although all of my images were on the server, I had uploaded
them individually, (actually I didn't seem to have a choice), but had
failed
to "re-group" them into an index_files folder. First, I put all of the
images
in a new folder, index_files. Then I put everything, (index.htm &
index_files), in a new folder, "newsletter", & now everybody's happy. As
you
said, the address is http://meanmaxine.com/newsletter/index.htm

One question, though. When my JPEG's weren't displaying, the GIF's were.
Since ALL of the images were on the server, again, individually, not in a
folder, how was index.htm "finding" them?

Welcome to the Web side...

The basic problem you have is how you have your web directory organized
and
how your are producing your Publisher html files.

As you know, when you Publish to the Web with Pub 2003, by default you
will
get an index.htm FILE, and index_files FOLDER. In your case as you have
only
one page, it is the index.htm file, and the graphics are contained in the
index_files folder. You have somewhere along the line, renamed the
index.htm
file to "newsletter1.html" and uploaded at least that file to the root
directory of your website. That is what loads when you click on
http://meanmaxine.com/newsletter1.html .

However, that page is looking for and cannot find the index_files folder
for
the images for the page. One of your images is supposed to be here:
http://meanmaxine.com/index_files/image302.jpg but that is not where you
put
the index_files folder...the image is not there.

First of all, create a subfolder on your host in the root directory...at
the
same level you currently have the "newsletter.html" file (which you
should
delete when you get these issues fixed). I would call the folder
"newsletter". Now, when you are ready to upload, "Publish to the Web" ,
and
when the Save dialog comes up, choose the default file name "index.htm"
and
this time upload that new "index.htm" file AND the "index_files"
folder...the whole folder...into your new subfolder "newsletter" on your
host. Now the link to your newsletter will be
"http://meanmaxine.com/newsletter/index.htm";. As long as you get both the
index.htm file and the index_files folder uploaded as suggested, your
images
should load.

I suggest staying with the default "index.htm" naming convention in order
to
keep things straight. Instead of "index.htm" , you could save the file
name
as "newsletter1.html...or htm" if you really prefer, but then you would
also
get a "newsletter1_files" folder instead of a "index_files" folder. And
if
you uploaded both of those to your new "newsletter" subfolder, then the
link
to your newsletter would be
"http://meanmaxine.com/newsletter/newsletter1.htm"; . Personally I think
it
is easier to stay with the default naming convention in Publisher and
organize things on the host using subfolders. In your case, as your main
site is not produced with Publisher, I suspect you are least likely to
create problems with your main site if you keep your Publisher html files
separate and in subfolders like "newsletter". It will be easier for you
to
manage. If you prefer using custom *.htm files for your newsletters, that
is
your choice. I just prefer index.htm...

It is written for Pub 2007, but if you are using IE7 instead of IE6, then
the directions for using Vista would apply. FTP uploading has changed
with
the introduction of IE7.

We talked before about compressing the images before you Publish to the
Web,
as per the article link I posted...

Before your publish new html files, go to tools > options > web tab and
uncheck "rely on vml..." and "allow png...". This will help improve cross
browser support.

Good luck.

I am new to Publisher (2003). I am trying to put a single page
newsletter
on
my site. I created the page, using pictures (JPEG's that are used on
the
main
site) specifically sized for the page, & then "published to the web".
This
created two folders. index.htm & index_files. I uploaded these to the
server.

The page is at http://meanmaxine.com/newsletter1.html In IE7, the
GIF's
show, but not the JPEG's. In Firefox, neither is displayed. As I said
in
my
original posting, (in General Questions), I could have this fixed for
me
by
the guys who run the site, but I'd rather learn for myself, for future
reference.
