    getting a web pages up on the net

    Jen, Do a search for free guestbooks and use one of them. I don't even recommend people using the guestbook feature in FrontPage. They are nothing but problems. What is your URL? I can check it out and give you some feedback. You can send it directly to me at jon@simple-sitz.com. Jon Holmen...

    How do I make a web site with Publisher?

    DON"T Microsoft Publisher is a great tool when used properly. Unfortunately, Microsoft added a website publishing feature to Publisher as an afterthought. The output that Publisher produces for web sites has more problems than it solves. I started using Publisher for my sites a number of...

    getting a web pages up on the net

    The prurchase price of FrontPage is MUCH less than the price you'll pay in frustration trying to use Publisher to do web sites. Listen to algraff's advice. Publisher should not have the web site feature in it. It was a very BAD afterthought. I've been there. Jon Holmen www.djcyborg.com...

    Uploading. There must be a way.

    First of all $75.00 is way too much to spend everytime you need to upload to your site. A program to do this yourself costs less than $40.00. Second - SERIOUSLY think about dumping Publisher as you web site tool. If you have your own URL, you'll need to get something to make your site, but...

    Publication file size??

    Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I realize I've missed your deadline and hope you found a solution. As you can see Publisher is not an active tool. Even though I've used it profesionally, it's really more of a toy than a publishing software. I've done everything from one page flyers...

    Hosting Recommendation

    Most of the info supplied so far seems to be for domain names and not hosting. I use two hosts, www.34sp.com is under $20.00/year with no set-up fee,for great hosting with FrontPage extensions and multiple email accounts. I have also used OneDollarHosting at www.onedollarhosting.com. They are...

    Can anyone help with converting word to publisher???

    Each item, text, graph, chart, etc. needs to be cut and pasted into it's own box in Publisher. Cut and paste each graph or chart first into their own box in Publisher. When your word document has nothing but text left, you should be able to copy that into a text box in Publisher. If you still...

    Word to Publisher easily???

    algraff is right, it's nnot easy to do. You need to copy and past the txt files into open text boxes. It may be a pain initially, but stick with publisher for your new documents from the begining. Jon Holmen www.djcyborg.com www.i-hate-computers.org

    Copyright symbol

    Alt 0169 didn't work. nor do I get a special characters option in my system tools. If I press the Alt key when in Illustrator, I just get an error bell as soon as i try to press another key. Is the special characters something I needed to install when I install Windows? Jon Holmen...

    Copyright symbol

    I'm on a PC. Already had the PC and can't afford two computers. I think I may have to go the Word route, I know I can do it that way. Jon Holmen www.djcyborg.com www.i-hate-computers.org

    Hosting my own website?

    You still have to register the URL, but it would point to your IP address. You really should have your PC on-line 24/7 so your site can be found by serch engines you submit your site to. Jon Holmen www.djcyborg.com www.i-hate-computers.org

    Can x-rays damage RAM?

    X-rays will be more of a threat to film. The metal detectors use magnetic fields and can damage data on floppies and hard drives. I'm pretty sure RAM should be safe in either case. Jon Holmen www.djcyborg.com www.i-hate-computers.org

    How do I change my pages from .htm to .html?

    Warning! If you have hyperlinks on your pages you'll have to change them too. There may be problems down the line if somthing is looking for the htm page. I always reccomend naming eveything .html from the beginning. This is just one more example of Misrosoft not caring about the real world...

    My commercial printer has Mac system

    Great tips for Publisher users. I agree that if you are serious about having something printed on a regular basis, or want something that will be accepted by any printer, stay away from Microsoft! The Adobe Publishing collection would be my choice too. It's really not dificult to learn, and it...

    Modifying Publisher web site in Frontpage

    If you already have FrontPage, there's no need to spend the extra money for DreamWeaver. FrontPage can do a nice job for simple sites (see www.simple-sitz.com) but you need to start from scratch and not inport something from Publisher. Jon Holmen www.djcyborg.com www.i-hate-computers.org

    Can not Successfully edit web page.

    If you are publishing through FrontPage, it should automatically transfer everything needed. If you are using an ftp program like WS_FTP you may need to transfer some of the folders like _borders and _derived. You may need to clear the cache in your browser or hit the refresh button on your...

    Have 95 on home desktop, should I upgrade to ME or 2000?

    Yes, STAY AWAY FROM ME!!!! I'm in the process of going back to 98. ME's uninstall feature doesn't work and I'm going to have to re-format my hard drive. I love 98, but also use 95 on some PC's, and find no reason to upgrade from 95 unless you have specific problems that 98 fixes. 98 is not a...
