Publishing your site in MS Publisher 2000

You must have Microsoft FrontPage® Server Extensions installed in order to save the publication as a Web folder. Or, you can just use FTP to publish your files. If you want to test your Web site on your computer, or store it on your computer to publish later, then you can publish it to your computer.

Save your Web site as a .pub file  If you want to use Publisher to update your Web site at a later time, you must save your Publisher Web site as a .pub file, regardless of the publishing method you use. Although you can use Publisher 2000 to generate your Web site as an HTML file, you can't open HTML files in Publisher. Therefore, the only way to update your site is to edit your .pub file and then republish it.

Web Folders
The easiest way to publish your Web site is to save it to a Web folder, which is a shortcut to a location on a Web server.

Web folders require the Microsoft FrontPage 97 or later Server Extensions. To add these extensions, go to your Control Panel and click on FrontPage Extensions.

To add a new Web folder to your current Web folders
  1. On the Windows desktop, double-click the My Computer icon. 
  2. Double-click Web Folders. 
  3. Double-click Add Web Folder. 
  4. Follow the instructions in the Add Web Folder Wizard.
Your new Web folder appears in a list under Web Folders.

To save files to the Web server, drag them along with any supporting folders to the newly created Web folder, or use the following procedure.
