Re: Broken links after uploading

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I clicked View/Master Page and it takes me to a completely blank document.
When I uncheck MAster Page it takes me back to my original document so I
don't think I'm using a Master Page.

Process I'm using:
1 New/Document/Webpage
2 Add content, images, text.
3 Save As...Webpage (Doc A)
4 Export as Webpage into a separate folder
5 Open another new document (Doc B) and save/export as webpage.
6 Highlight text to be a link.
7 Insert/Hyperlink. MSPub takes me to My Documents.
8 Locate saved Doc A in My Docs and double click. That's it.

Should I be locating the Doc A in it's Exported File form? When I try to
open an exported file, all I get is a sole graphic...no text...it's not the
doc I saved.

As Meebers pointed out, your links are pointing to your hard drive.
Mouseover any of the links and look at the status bar at the bottom of your
browser window to see this. Obviously, this is wrong.

One reason why this can happen is if you are using a Master Page. If you put
your links, or anything on a Master Page, you need to move it to the main
publication page, and not use a Master Page in a Publisher web document. The
problem with this advice is I don't know if the Master Page feature was
offered in Pub 2002.

The second part of the problem with your links is it appears you are writing
them to custom .htm file names. Publisher 2002 doesn't allow custom file
names for each page.

Check the Master page issue, and if you aren't using a Master Page, then
tell me specifically, step by step how you are inserting the links to the
other pages in your site, and how you are writing the links.

I downloaded SP 3 for XP then exported each page as a web page into a new
folder. I deleted all of my files off of the website and uploaded all the
newly "exported as web page" files. I still only see the home page and no
links work.

Go to Help and check the SP level. You should be running at least SP1. SP
available here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=pub2002&SD=OFFN

Then after patching be sure to Export As a web page...not Save As a web
page.

Make these changes and upload new HTML files, and see if that fixes your
problems.

I created a website in MS Publisher 2002. When I preview the website
using
MS Pub's preview button, all the links work fine.

After uploading the site via godaddy.com, none of the links work.
The
cursor changes to a hand indicating that it is a link, but nothing
happens
when I click on them.

Please help.
