Author Copying an Existing Website

My webmaster has flaked on me & now I am forced to recreate my website so
that I can manage it myself. In order to save time, I would like to copy my
existing site into Publisher & edit it from there. Is this possible to do?

Thank You

Was the original site built in Publisher? Do you have access to the original
Publisher file? Publisher is not a code editor. At best you might be able to
capture some of the design elements from the website.

Reference: Common Sense Computing 101 aka "Why in the world would you lose
your publisher file?" :

Read the last part in the article about rebuilding a Publisher site.

The original site was created by a third party web design company, it is very
generic. I have access to the site for editing purposes. It looks like I am
going to have to recreate the wheel and manually enter each page. This will
be difficult & slow at best, any other suggestions?

As Rob said, post the URL. There is probably a better way, and a better
program that might be able to import the code...but we gotta see it.
