MS Publisher 2003 for webpages?
« on: Sunday 24 April 05 13:14 BST (UK) »

I have MS Publisher on this PC and a quick look shows it can do webpages. Would this programme be compatible with uploading to RootsChat free pages?

Hi genlistlass,

Welcome to RootsChat  Smiley  Smiley


Try it and see !

Create your web pages, and then look at it off-line. It should all be together in one directory (or folder).
(see:  TIP: Viewing and Editing your web-site at http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,47483.0.html )

There should be a file index.htm or index html in your directory

If you like what you see, delete the index.html on your RootsChat webspace and upload the whole directory

Final step: enter the address in your profile, and PM JonathanW (see: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,23896.0.html )

Good luck,
Bob

Hi
Is there anyone out there who has used MS Publisher to create web pages for rootschat - it would be good to see finished results. I am trying to work out if/how I can include my gedcom tree in publisher designed site.

I have found that publisher is quite simple to follow, but I dont want to go too far down that road until I am sure it will include the tree!

Any thoughts would be appreciated - keep them simple for me please - I need an idiots guide with all instructions!! Grin

Thanks folks

If you want to publish gedcom, you might be better to look at using phpgedview,  see the sticky post here.

you could use publisher for other pages of information to "liven" up your tree.

For example on my site I use a combination of phpgedview and static pages about people of interest in my tree.

genlist,  I was answering saz's post.   As I said publisher is fine for static pages.  It would not be my preference as it doe not produce very good html,  but for a simple site its probably fine,  just make sure you do not use the Frontpage extensions with out checking with Trystan they are supported

Thanks Jane
I need an idiots guide on everything, so wanted advice before I started down the publisher route. Trystan has uploaded a simple prog to my web page so I think I'll stick with it - sounds like it will be better than publisher.

Many thanks for replying - I do ask some stupid questions sometimes I know - but I am learnin and I'll get this page set up eventually. (was going to say I'll be old & grey b4 I do - but I got there already!!!)

Thanks again Jane Grin
