Greg,
Bummer. It sounds like a corrupt file.
What are you running for AV and a firewall? Onecare from MSFT?
Sometimes just widening a page just distorts the layout, and might not cure
the overlap into the scratch area. If you have text boxes or images in the
scratch area, move or resize them so they don't, and try again.
I would empty all temp folders including IE cache, and reboot of course...
When all else fails for me, I start deconstructing the file. You tried
deleting some pages. Try deleting all but the first page and see if you can
preview that page. Then if that is successful, delete all but two pages,
etc, until you add a page that causes the problem. Study that page for
overlaps, perhaps drag the images off into the scratch area to test...look
for what it is on the page that might cause the problem. Look at
everything...just because it worked before doesn't mean it will always work.
Are you using a Master Page in your design? You shouldn't. Do you have Tools
Options > Web tab "rely on VML..." and "Allow Png..." unchecked? Its toughto trouble shoot...
And though this might not fix the file, personally. I would go to Help >
Detect and Repair and see if perhaps Publisher can heal itself.
I'll keep thinking about it, but hopefully someone else will jump in with an
idea or two...
How big is the file? If it isn't too big, then use YouSendIt.com to upload a
copy, send the link to yourself, and then post the link so I or others can
download it....if you are comfortable with that.

David,
I tried turning off the AV and firewall. No help. I didn't think that
was
the problem since I was able to both preview and publish just two days
ago...and my AV and firewall settings have not changed.
The only item in the article you directed me to that pertained to me was
the
question of whether some of my web pages were outside the normal area and
into the "scratch" area. I checked. Some of the pages were a half-pixel
too
wide, so I widened the page by two pixels in Page Setup. No help.
I have created a new web page from a template and, yes, it does preview.
I
could understand that this problem is caused by a corrupt .pub file, but
it
is also happening with an older version of the website.
I just ran the Design Checker...or tried to. It got three seconds into
checking and froze the program solid. I had to control-alt-delete my way
out
of it. Tried again. Same results.
I seem to be more bumfoozled than ever.

An additional guess...look at your firewall and antivirus or other
security
settings. I would assume that all three computers are running the same
setup, so that would suggest that maybe your firewall is preventing both
the
preview and ability to publish your site.
Anyway, try disabling your AV and Firewall for a preview, and then turn
them
back on. Can you preview the page?
Try producing a new web publication from a template. Will that file
preview?
If it does, then it would seem that the problem is file specific.
Try reading over this page, and maybe it will lead to a solution: How to
trouble-shoot Publisher web upload issues:

David,
I upgraded to IE7 well over a year ago. This problem started two days
ago.
I guess by "patch" you mean installed Microsoft Updates. No, that is
not
set
to automatic, and I haven't installed any new updates for months.
As I said earlier, the strange part is that this problem started at the
same
time on three different computers...in two different buildings (no
network).
My original thought was that it was a corrupted .pub file so I used
copy
and
paste to create a duplicate website and checked the web page preview
functionality after every page. It gave me previews every time...until
page
37. I figured the corruption was in that page, so I deleted it and
three
others before it. No help.
Although corruption seems reasonable, it doesn't track because the
same
thing occurs on an earlier version of the file that was created over a
year
ago. I'm bumfoozled.

that you "patched" your computer, perhaps automatically by MSFT?

I am using Publisher 2003 on a Windows XP system. I have previewed
my
website hundreds of times and have published it several times.
Suddenly,
when I try to do either one of those things, the dialog box says
it's
working...but it isn't. Nothing actually happens. It just sits
there,
and
the screen is frozen. Here's the creepy part: It happens on three
different
computers...but two days ago they all worked fine. No new software
on
any
of
them.
What on earth could cause this?
