I can’t help thinking that there must be a easier way of putting a Publisher document onto a website but the only things the forums say about it is don’t use Word/Publisher to generate web pages, which is unhelpful. After much head scratching this process was developed and it does work.

With the Publisher document open go to ‘Save as’ and save document as Web page (not single file web page) as you save it change the file name to conform to web needs (no capital letters no spaces) it needs to be changed now, because as the document is saved a folder and a file are created which are inter dependant and the system does not allow the folder/file to be changed. This action creates a folder and a separate file. The folder will be entitled '(name of publisher document) files' and will contain all the images of the text, the photographs and all the data files to enable Frontpage to re-assemble the document on the site. The separate HTML files icon is the green P together with the globe HTML icon indicating that it is a Publisher document saved as a web page.

Open Frontpage and the folder that is to hold the newly created folder and file. Go to ‘File – Import’ a box opens, select ‘Folder’ navigate to the new folder then click ‘Open’ this should open the folder to show the files inside the folder created in the step above. Click OK, folder should appear in Frontpage. Repeat process to import the HTML file created in step above.

Open the menu page that is going to link to the new document, create a ‘hyperlink’ to the HTML file, not the folder. Before publishing to the site, right click on the file, click ‘Rename’ and type the name that will appear at the top of the screen when the new document is open in the browser.

Publish the modified menu page, then the new HTML file, then the new folder. Having published the folder to the site open it and see if the files have been uploaded, usually they do not and you have to publish them separately. I have no idea why they do not publish with the folder.
