You don't state the version.
Each version is different with web design.
If you are using 2003 the first thing you can do is to not use original
images as Pub 2003 will retain the size and resolution of them. Instead you
need you use a photo editor first to save the images in a smaller size and
resolution (96dpi). Then use those smaller images in the Pub 2003 page. Also
use photos sparingly. You can add more pages and spread photos out rather
then dump several on a page.

What if the page is a gallery page?

Any image should be sized and reduced to 96 dpi before being inserted into
any Publisher page in version 2003 for best results.

Hi David,
It is publisher 2003.  The problem seems to be that Publisher 2003 embeds ea
ch photo into the background.  Is there some way, other than making the phot
o a link, to stop Publisher from embedding the photo into the background.  I
'm a photographer, and this
web site is for my business, so I need quite a few photos on each page.  My home page o
nly has four photos of very small size and it still takes forever to load becuase of th
e embedding issue.  www.lisagunnoe.com
Thanks,
Lisa

Publisher embeds the images IF you layer the image with other objects. This
is covered on the FAQ - www.davidbartosik.com/faq.htm
A quick look at your page and I see you applied a border/shadow to each
image BAM that would do it. If you want the image to be edited in such a way
without embedding you'd have to design the image that way in a photo editor
and insert it into pub already done that way.
You also have the filled text boxes as a background area behind the image
collection, that could also be a factor. I'd suggest pulling off the border
work on one of the images and test it to see if it still embeds the image,
if so then remove the background fills and test again.
Note that if you were using a web design program such as FrontPage, you
would have to create that whole thing in a graphic editor and then splice
it. In other words Publisher saves you some time but has limitations.
You can manually "link" images - see
http://www.davidbartosik.com/pub2002/pub2002_26.htm - but you wouldn't be
able to layer them with the background designs.
Publisher is working as it's intended, as it needs to, to produce your
design.
I very nice design, good job, btw.
If you design the images solo on a plain background you'll get a faster load
time. Welcome to web design. You have to deal with finding a balance (or
not) between load time and the design you want.
You might look over the articles at www.davidbartosik.com/web.htm - some of
them may be helpful.

Honestly, for a commercial site, the best advice is to forget about Publishe

Go with Dreamweaver and avoid the problems with Publisher and FrontPage
altogether.  Now ducking in anticipation of MVP wrath...

No wrath on my part. You are entitled to your opinion as I am entitled to
mine.I'd recommend FrontPage but I prefer M$'s products and have for years,
long before I ever heard of MVPs. (I used your abbreviation to make you
smile.)

Indeed, you did make me smile!  Thank you.  I use many M$ products, but they
just never seem to be ready for prime time.  Of course that is not unique to
 M$;
much of the software out here is as buggy or worse than M$ products.

Hi David,
Thank you much.  I will work on it and see if I can get Publisher to do what
 I need it to do.  I really don't want to get another program.  As you can t
ell, I don't need fancy this or that for my web site.  I'm after simple eleg
ance.  I like Publisher bec
ause I can do most anything I want with it.  Sure hope I can work this out.
Thanks again for your help... I will check it out this weekend and keep you 
posted.
Lisa
