David,
I tried this link and it worked fine on my FAQ where everything was on the
same page. When I tried to link from one page to another, it failed. Any idea
what I did wrong? (Yes, I know - load the site... I'm trying to!) :)

Kat,

You need to write a full path to the anchor on a different page. Instead of:

<A HREF="#READHERE">I want you to click here!</A>

write it this way:

<A HREF="http://yoursite.com/index_files/Page398.htm#READHERE">I want you to
click here!</A>

I love it when you can't test a site function until AFTER it is turned loose
on the internet. I can't imagine where that concept came from...

Thanks, though. Still slogging thru photos.

Kat,

Not sure about Pub, but in WP if I use an absolute link instead of a
relative one, I can test it without the site being uploaded by
previewing the page (I think in Pub it is similar to Save and then
opening the HTML file in a browser.)

Think about it...how can you test an absolute link if the page it links to
isn't on the web? You might try writing a relative link instead of the full
absolute link, and find something that will work in web page preview. The
reason you can test your site in web preview is because the navigation
wizard writes relative links.

Oh, and by the way, I did tell you that Pub 2007 has built-in support for
all of this now...

Mike, I even tried writing a link to my own coputer - no luck!

As for 2007, it's like Vista: I'm waitng until SP1 comes out before I bite.
I'm still fighting with fallout from XP. Don't need to go there again! There
are six computers in this house (seven if you count the old one in the
garage) - I'd need a site license to go to Vista!

Remember the conversation about doing the fancy letters in a graphics
editor? O thought I'd try it first in word-art How do you get the letters -
and the graphics for that matter - to stay in line with the rest of the text?
My letters are all over the place! I just started this battle tonight and
haven't had time to research it yet. I don't want to embed ALL the images,
just these few. Can you embed them on just one page of a site? And HOW?

[I've got a huge special order to fill before Monday and might not be around
much. Don't think I've abandoned all hope - the work is what my part of the
site is supposeed to sell, so I really can't complain. Stay in touch!]

Sounds like you are trying to use word wrap around your word-art images.
Sorry, Publisher can do that well in a print document, but chokes when you
convert it to HTML. Don't use word wrap in a Publisher web page.

Pub 2007 will run on XP, but I wasn't suggesting that you need to upgrade. I
just thought I would mention that MSFT had added this link to anchor
feature...sorry to confuse you.

Word wrap. It's a letter at the start of a sentence, but that's all. It
should behave like a picture (next step - Photoshop). Wonder how many people
have Vivaldi font on their computers...

If you use a non-web friendly font in a Publisher web page, it will do one
of two things. Either it will substitute in another font when you view the
page with a browser, or it will convert the whole text box to an image. That
you generally don't want, as the webbots can't index text that has been
converted into an image. One more limitations of converting to html from
print...

If you are really invested in this "look" you can copy the text box, and
paste special as an image right back into Publisher...

Since only 8 letters are involved, that seems a bit extreem - but it is on a
page that tells everyone about our business. NO graphics. If I put the entire
box as an image, could I use the text desctiption to create the same info in
a bot legible format? It would not be hidden text, just text of the graphic
text.

Or I could use the font and let it look funny on half the computers...

[I'm supposed to be making jewelry - not programming... There are just so
few bits to fix, though, so I can load it!] One more problem willl show up in
a query.

Kat,

I don't know what to tell you. Try producing the html to your computer, open
the index.htm file, and then try selecting the text. If you can select it,
then it hasn't been converted to an image. If it hasn't then you can
experiment around with different approaches to see if you can work out your
spacing issues. If it has been converted to an image, then you have to make
a decision. Is it more important to stay with the design, and loose the
ability for the text to be indexed? Or change your design. I really don't
have any idea whether your other idea would work or not, but I would guess
that it will backfire.

Sorry, this is one of the joys of web design whether you use Publisher or
some other tool. The media is simply different than print, and you just have
to adjust to the limits of what you can and can not do.

Kat,

An ineloquent solution. Use two text frames. Put your Word Art on a line
and then create a text frame next to it. Add enough of your text to fill
it. Then, create another text frame under it and the WA and put the rest
of the text in it. That will keep it from getting converted to an image
and allow you to use the font you want.
