Re: C-Drive stem folders with duplicate website info???

You may be mixing things up. It sounds like you are looking at your webhost
files, not your C drive. Have you been downloading all your webhost files to
your local computer?

Anyway to remind you of the proper workflow. Open your original Publisher
file for your website. 'Publish to the web" and Publisher will produce an
index.htm file (your home page) and an index_files folder which contains all
the other pages of your site plus all the supporting graphics. You upload
the index.htm file and the index_files folder to your webhost. Then if you
want to change your site, you repeat the process...open the original
Publisher file and generate new web files and upload those. You do not open
and edit the .htm files in Publisher. You do not download the web files from
the webhost server and try to edit those. Publisher is not a code editor.

You mention in your other post that you are going to use both Pub 2003 and
2007. Your Publisher file will open in both versions. The main difference is
that in Pub 2003 you should go to Tools > Options > Web tab and uncheck
"rely on VML...". This will help in producing code that is more cross
browser compatible. As of Pub 2007, MSFT had removed this option.

You also mentioned in that on one of your computers you installed IE8, but
you have IE7 on the other. You might consider uninstalling IE8 for the a
while and just staying with IE7. That way while you are working on your Pub
file, if you want to do a webpage preview, you will be able to see your
navbars. You should still plan on 'ungrouping' the pages before you upload
your web files so that the navbars will render for those people that view
your site with IE8. Read one of my long replies about the compatibility
issues with IE8 for more details about that.

When looking at my C drive, and expanding it to show the folders, etc.,
two
folders are perplexing, because they have the same set of files.

1. The first folder is titled, "ftp.lcn-hoa.com" with the following set
of
files:

_db_backups
aspnet_client
HOA - Website Files
Stats

2. The next folder is titled, "www.lcn-hoa.com" and has the following
files:

_db_backups
aspnet_client
HOA - Website Files
stats

The same data exactly, but why?

Is the ftp folder created after dropping and dragging the "index_files,"
and
"index.htm" files into the "www.lcn-hoa" folder, after you have while in
the
publisher .pub file, clicked on "save as a web page?"

I know that after you drop and drag the "index_files" and the "index.htm"
files into the "www.lcn-hoa.com" folder space on the right of the C-Drive
stem, you should click on "refresh" to cause the newest files to over
write
the older files.

I made a foolish decision and deleted the "HOA - Website Files" and the
"stats" file in the "ftp.lcn-hoa.com" folder, and then almost immediately
the
website disappeared. Now all I get is a message saying that the site is
not
accessible and to contact the administrator.

When I click on "Save as a web page," I place the index_files and the
index.htm file in a folder called, "HOA - Website Files."

My website address is: fttp://www.lcn-hoa.com

I am using Office Su9ite 2007.
