Re: How do I Save from MHTML .mht to HTML format only

When you Publish to the Web and get to the Save dialog, just be sure to save
as index.html instead of index.htm. That will also add the .html extension
to the other pages.

Snow? I have a couple feet of accumulation around my home that is starting
to melt finally. 20 minutes away Mt. Bachelor had around 150" of base now.

Uh, actually, I did change it manually. I'll have to look next time I
revise
and save. I've printed your responses so I can recall the way back if I
get
lost again. I really do appreciate your help. It's been hell. I'm not
cut
out for this techy stuff, but am stubborn, determined and broke.

Bend is nice. Snow? We keep getting hammered over here. I have a niece
in
Sisters, sister in Eugene, sister in Portland and other assorted relatives
in
the area. I was born in Tacoma. Small world. Yeah, good times, kumbya
:-)

Thanks a TON! I'll try the adobe or IE sites for help with flash. AGAIN.
Sigh. Can't I just have what I want when I want it??? Is that too much
to
ask?

Cherrie,

Kewl! Glad it worked out for you.

If I read your reply correctly, you don't have to manually change .htm to
..html. You can choose the .html extension when you Publish to the
Web...but
perhaps that is what you meant.

As per the Flash player, I can't help on that one. Post your question in
the
IE newsgroup, or perhaps the Adobe newsgroup. I am sure someone there
will
know the answer.

I live in Bend. Don, a frequent poster in this group lives in Tacoma Wa,
so
there are several of us in the Pacific NW.

OH MY GOD!!!! IT WORKED, IT FREAKING WORKED!!!!!
You are a compu-GOD!
The issue was the difference between html and htm on the index folder
so I
had to manually add the "L". It seems so weird to have had to go
through
all
this when it should have been so straight forward. the MHTML thing
sent
me
into a tail-spin that I've been working on for EVER!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! You can see the page...I think it is
actually posted now...(amateur that it is) at www.eoni.com/~wardc

And...I'm in La Grande, in Northeast Oregon...50 miles from Pendleton.
Small, rural.

Now...if you can help me figure out (after a year of troubleshooting)
why
I
can't install Flash Player to internet explorer, I can die happy. I've
uninstalled the old, reinstalled the new, checked the registry, stood
on
my
head, and whistled Dixie. I can install and use flash player on
FireFox,
but
not on IE in Vista. None of the "fixes" on the website, "fix" it.

And...why does Microsoft employ their tech support out of the country?
Is
it India? Kind people, knowledgable people, they speak English, but
not
in a
way that I can understand it. So when you are already frustrated, and
then
you hang out on hold, and then you speak with somebody you can't
understand...razor blades begin to call your name.

THANKS AGAIN! Cherrie

Cherrie,

The fact that you are seeing the index.htm file suggests one of
several
things. I see from the instructions at you webhost:
http://home.eoni.com/supportFTP.cfm that you need to upload your files
to
the Public_html folder. As you have been successful in uploading Pub
2000
web pages before, I would hope that you would know that, but be sure
to
confirm that you uploaded your files to the correct folder on your
host.

I also notice that your host says you have to use the .html extension
for
your index file. Generally index.htm and index.html are equivalent,
and
this
should not matter. However, if you have been uploading Pub 2000 or
even
your
newer files as "index.html", then when you uploaded "index.htm" the
original
index.html file would not be overwritten. If you have both an
index.htm
and
an index.html file then a browser would not know which file is the
default.
Check to see if you have both. Check to see if you deleted your old
Pub
2000
files. Remember that Pub 2000 did not use a subfolder to organize the
supporting images or additional pages, so those loose files should be
deleted from your site. Double check that you did indeed upload to the
Public_html folder. And finally, if you must, when you Publish to the
Web,
choose index.html as your default instead of index.htm.

Once you figure out where to upload, and clean up your files on your
host,
don't forget that you have to also upload the "index_files" folder
that
Publisher generates when you Publish to the Web to the same
Public_html
folder...or at the same level as the index.html or index.htm file. It
sounds
like you forgot to do that, and that is where all your pictures and
graphics
are stored as well as your other pages. Upload the folder
intact...don't
upload the individual files.

Third...given that you have limited space available, be sure to
compress
your images in your Pub file before you generate the html files/web
pages.
Publisher 2000 automatically resized and reduced the resolution of
inserting
images to the proper dimensions and 96 dpi when you "Saved as a Web
Page".
Pub 2007 doesn't. Select one of the images on your Pub page and the
picture
toolbar should appear. Mouseover the icons until you find the
"Compress
pictures" function. Click it and in the dialog be sure to set the
Target
Output to Web and apply the compression to all pictures.

You are almost there....

Off subject...Eastern Oregon? Which city if you don't mind me asking?

Hi David,
Thanks for your response. Your instructions were very clear and I
really
appreciate that. After following your instructions, I uploaded the
index.htm
file using FileZilla. Upload was successful. However, when I
entered
the
URL to go to view it in real time, it showed a parent directory (the
home
page of the web hoster), and the Index.htm file as links rather than
automatically opening to my web page as the other (2000) file did.
If
I
double clicked the link, it opened into a partial web page, mostly
black
and
white text, no graphics, and text was overlapping...formatting all
messed
up.
So something is missing, and something about the way it is being
read
at
the
other end is not right.

My internet provider (local) www.eoni.com provides what they call
free
space of posting web pages or storing files. This free space will
only
accept html files. Something still isn't translating correctly.
Yet
the
2000 version (which of course is no longer installed) loaded and
opened
and
was formatted fine.

When I opened the file to preview it before uploading, everything
looked
fine.

Any other ideas?

Thank you so much,
Cherrie

Ok
out. This will allow you to see the file extensions.

When you generated your web pages with Pub 2000 you did a file save
as.
In
2007, you can still do that, but perhaps try the more common
method.
File
>
Publish to the Web. In the dialog make sure the file name is
index.htm
and
direct your output to a folder on your hard drive where you can
find
it.
You
can use index.html but it should be easier to use the default .htm
extension. In Publisher 2000 you automatically were given a
"Publish"
folder
when you did your File Save as a Web page, but in 2007 you create
your
own
folder. When you have saved your files to that folder, open it with
Windows
Explorer or My Computer. I prefer WE and detail view so I can
easily
see
all
the files and file sizes. You should see an index.htm file and an
index_files folder that contain your other pages and all the
supporting
graphics and images.

Unless you specify a File > Save as .mhtm. or .mht file, you should
not
be
seeing that extension. Nor should you generally be uploading a .mht
file
to
your host...save that option for perhaps emailing a single web page
containing the graphics to someone.

You can now upload the index.htm file and the index_files folder to
your
webhost.

Hi,
I created my first web page in Pub 2000. Uploaded it to my web
host.

Later I upgraded to Pub 2007 and made revisions. When I went to
upload
the
revision I discovered that my web host will ONLY accept HTML
extensions
and I
am unable to save my page as HTML only. The host will not accept
MHTML
or
files with .mht extensions.

Someone told me "Look for the Save as type, "Web Page, Filtered
(*.htm;
*.html)" but this saves as MHTML as does saving as Single File
Web
Page.
I
was also told "You will only see the parenthetical if Windows is
configured
to show file extensions. But the right thing will happen if you
choose
Web
Page, Filtered. The extension will default to one of htm or html
if
you
don't
specify an extension. If you really want one specific extension
of
these
two,
then type that in as part of the file name."

So, I am running Windows Vista, MS Publisher 2007 and the
parenthetical
(*.htm; *.html) does not appear with saving as filtered web page,
and
it
saves it as MHTML with .mht extension that my host will not
recogize.

I'm not super techy. Can somebody who KNOWS, walk me through the
steps
on
how to bypass this and actually save as HTM or HTML? MS Pub 2000
had
this
option right in the pull-down menu...2007 does not. Thanks!
