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

Thomboy

This is the link I see on your site for one of your pdf's

\\thomoffice\ActiveFoldrs\HOA - Website Files\index_files\CCR LCNII 157-219_6.pdf

The problem here is the link above that is on your web page

It should be http://www.lcn-hoa.com/XXX.pdf (if the XXX.pdf is in the root directory)

Suggestion: When you name pdf files omit the spaces in the name of the files.
When you load the pdf files to your server, place them in a directory of their own such as downloads to keep them where they are easy to locate and maintain. The new link then would be: http://www.lcn-hoa.com/downloads/XXX.pdf

I looked for your pdf's in the root directory but did not find them. Where did you up load them to?

Hi David:

I am back again.

We talked briefly about my desktop running Windows Vista Ultra with IE 8,
and my laptop running Windows XP with IE 7.

You suggested uninstalling IE 8 on my desktop, and going back to IE 7, so
there would be fewer problems when I moved my .pub file for my website
(http://www.lcn-hoa.com) to my laptop.

Does it make any sense to load Office 2007 on my laptop, replacing Office
2003 to also remove another hurdle to jump?

In keeping with that question, and only because I have an unopened and new
copy of Windows Vista Home Premium yet to load onto my laptop, would it make
any sense to install the Vista Premium on my laptop so there is more
continuity between my desktop and my laptop?

I have a Core 2 cpu @ 2.00 GHz, plus .99GB of RAM on my laptop, barely
enough for Windows Vista Home Premium to run effecitvely.

Any thoughts?

Thomboy

P.S. I have another Publisher Question about using .pdf files on a
publisher webpage, and how to make it work? I have read and reread the
Office Publisher file, "Save a file in PDF Format," and am still not sure how
to make this happen.

The nine steps in the Office Pub file make it sound very easy, but I cannot
make it work. If you take a quick look at my website, mentioned above, and
click on the page titled, "C&Rs and Legal" and then click on any of the .pdf
links, you get a message that says that IE cannot display this page.

Well, I am glad you found the solution, though it be a bit circuitous.
