Hi, I have started using MS publisher only 1 day back. I created a website
and when I publish, the index.htm page was created in the root folder and the
remaining files were in index_files folder. Is it possible for me to create
my own directory strcture and organize it more better?

Let me know how do i make these configuration changes.

Thanks
Praveen

As I suggested in your other post, you can option to not use the subfolders.
And you could build your site with multiple Publisher files as per the
following reference: Building a web site with multiple Publisher web
publication files:

Alternatively, you could let Publisher use the default index.htm file name,
and load each page into a subfolder.

Thanks David. So as I can see publisher will create a folder called
index_files or not create it at all depending on the option..

This is quite inflexible. I mean cant i move my objects etc in different
folders or even rename the index_files folder?

Like in any website, i wil like to have my own directory structure. Is that
possible?

Go back and read the link I provided about building your site with multiple
Publisher files. In it you will read about renaming your files, including
the index.htm file. It sounds like your expectations for Publisher are
beyond what it can do. It is a DTP with limited web building capability. If
you want full flexibility and functionality, then switch to a program
specifically designed for web building or hand code it.

David,

I agree with you, I am looking for a web-site builder tool. Yes, I had not
read your article earlier (my mistake). It does talk of sub-folder etc. I
will have a look with it.

I dont mean to say publisher is not a good tool. It has managed to create a
neat and clean website for me with little trouble and so its good :-)

Thanks
Praveen
