Michelle,

Just to add to John G and DavidF's comment, it might be useful to know that
all your work is covered by the 'Copyright' laws, as long as it is your own.
Put your name, year and copyright symbol ©, at the bottom of your page, I
put mine on the Home page. Whilst it won't stop people copying your work if
they really want to, it can make them think twice about copying it and using
it. You could also print off a copy of your work, mail it to yourself but
don't open it and keep it somewhere safe. The work is then protected from
the date it was mailed.

Of course the copyright laws are complicated and expensive to prove and you
would probably never want to go there, but by displaying the symbol etc., it
could make others think twice about going there too.

Thanks for the clarification, both of you.

I understand it. It doesn't stop right clicking in FireFox and only works

IE.

As John G suggested, there is no way to stop people from taking anything
you
put on your site. By viewing your pages they have already downloaded
everything on your page.

Hi David
I'm using Publisher 2007. I haven't published to the net yet so I
wasn't
aware that the right click option was already disabled.
So in layman's terms, if a visitor wants to save text or a photo from a
Publisher 2007 website they can't?
Out of interest, why *is* it disabled?
Thanks.

Which version of Publisher are you using? The right click option to
save
a
picture and to open a link in another tab is already disabled in Pub
2003
and 2007 sites in IE. In fact, many of us would like to be able to
'enable'
that functionality. What are you trying to do? What is left available
under
the context menu of a right click that you are trying to prevent?

I can provide a javascript code snippet to you that will disable right
click, but there is a workaround to it, and it mostly just alienates
people.
