John, John, John...
I hate getting this question, but probably not as much as you hate the fact
that you did not backup your files. I am sorry.
I am also sorry, but the best you can do is download your web files to your
hard drive, and start rebuilding your pages. At least this will give you the
images, and the text. You could probably copy and paste a lot of it...
As of Publisher 2002 you could open a .htm file in Publisher, save as a Pub
doc and rebuild one page at a time, but unfortunately that does not work in
Pub 2000. While it is too late for you, others should take the time to read
the following article by David Bartosik before their hard drive fails or
they loose their Pub file in some other way. It describes some good backup
approaches and the way to reconstruct Pub files from web files with Pub
2002+:
Common Sense Computing 101 aka "Why in the world would you lose your
publisher file?":

Since David wrote that article there have been some other advances in
technology and the web that help in backing up. External USB drives and USB
sticks have come down a lot in price and are excellent for backing up. I use
the USB sticks to backup work in progress, and make full backups of my data
to external hard drives on a regular basis. I also use Acronis True Image to
backup my whole hard drive, copy it to an external drive, and can install
that image to a new hard drive in just an hour or so. And finally, there are
an increasing number of on-line sites that you can store your files
(including your own web host). I ran across http://www.dropsend.com/
recently and like www.yousendit.com it allows you to upload large files and
send links to others, plus with dropsend they give you 250 MB of online
storage...all for free. Of course this won't work too well if you don't have
a high speed connection.
Anyway, once again I am sorry John, but hopefully others will learn to
backup from your experience.

Hello,
I have been making my web pages with Publisher 2000 and I recently lost my
original 17 pages due to a hard-drive failure. My web site is still up and
running but is there anyway I can retrieve my pages for redesign and
changes or am I bound to start from scratch again?
Any help appreciated please. John
