Linking Word and Publisher files

THanks David, i now understand that the 2007 publisher is different and i
need to set the hyperlink to the internet address (URL) of the file , but
how do i do this? Do i do this on the master publisher file? I have already
manually uploaded the external linked docs to the remote public_html
directory but still doesn't work as i think i need to change the internet
address (URL) of the file.How do i do this?

That doesn't work. All it does is insert the file over the content of the
Publisher file

I have created many hyperlinks for my website below which do NOT work.
They work fine on my local publisher file and I have transferred all the
linked files to the remote site using FTP but doesn't work.
Maybe I put them in the wrong remote folder but I have tried putting them
in
both the index_files and public_html and still doesn't work.
Is there any basic info I can read to learn exactly how to do this?
Should I put them in the imap folder?
Is there anything else I need to transfer from the local to remote to
make
this work?

Hi, Is it possible to have links between files saved in Word,
Publisher and
Powerpoint 2003? I have been working on a twenty page document saved
in each
program. As I make updates, can I have each of the files in each
separate
program updated when I make one new save?

Your response to DavidF seems to be your problem.
All those links in Tasting Tips point to locations on your computer and of
course that is not accessible to me.
You should go back thru your PUB file and change the Hyperlinks to their
place at your ISP.

HI John

My website address is www.daltonwineltd.com and i am using 2007 Publisher.
I have created many links for my tasting notes which include: word, pdf
and
jpeg
I have transferred all these linked docs to the remote public_html folder
using FTP but the links do not work on the website but they do work when i
test them on the local master publisher file. I understand that i cannot
test
these links in preview.

Do you think you could start from the beginning and simply describe your
problem and what you have done, because(I for one) am compleltely
confused.
Any FTP process puts your files where YOU tell it. If the names are
diffferent then they will not be over written.
The directories where you place your files will vary between ISPs but you
should not ever load files into \index_files the best place is a
directory
you create in the same directory as \inde_files is stored then it is
yours
to put whatever files you like into it and reference them from your your
web
page that you create in Publisher.

I do not see where you told us your WEB address or what version of Pub
you
are using.

NO NO you should not (and cannot) load your files into index.htm. IN fact
index.htm is a FILE not a direrctory and it was created by PUB and generally
should not be fiddled with until you learn a lot more.
As I said before you should create a directory of your own (may called
my_stuff) in the same directory as index.htm is in and put your files
there.
The URLs that you enter will look someting like this

NO. I have loaded my external files into public_html
I hear you about the index files.lucky i didn't try it!
I have just changed the address to:
http://www.daltonwineltd.com/TNotes_...ose_CH2980.pdf
by editing the hyperlink address in PUB and it works fine. Simple

Only problem is the catalogue PDf link is broken. Any tips?

Brad,
I should not have got into this discussion on this news group, we really
should be at microsoft.public.publisher.webdesign which as the name suggests
is the proper place for web problems.
Personally I have never bothered with preview so just how to handle links I
am not sure.
Next. I would advise you to only upload PDF files if you expect people to
read them because not everyone has MS Word to read .doc files.
Next I think your site is far too wide, if there is a need to scroll to the
right on a screen of 1024 pixels then many people will just turn off. I am
sure DavidF could fill in the satistics.

Pleas start your next question on MS.P.Publisher.webdesign

THanks David, i now understand that the 2007 publisher is different and i
need to set the hyperlink to the internet address (URL) of the file , but
how do i do this? Do i do this on the master publisher file? I have
already
manually uploaded the external linked docs to the remote public_html
directory but still doesn't work as i think i need to change the internet
address (URL) of the file.How do i do this?

That doesn't work. All it does is insert the file over the content of
the
Publisher file

I have created many hyperlinks for my website below which do NOT work.
They work fine on my local publisher file and I have transferred all
the
linked files to the remote site using FTP but doesn't work.
Maybe I put them in the wrong remote folder but I have tried putting
them
in
both the index_files and public_html and still doesn't work.
Is there any basic info I can read to learn exactly how to do this?
Should I put them in the imap folder?
Is there anything else I need to transfer from the local to remote to
make
this work?

Hi, Is it possible to have links between files saved in Word,
Publisher and
Powerpoint 2003? I have been working on a twenty page document
saved
in each
program. As I make updates, can I have each of the files in each
separate
program updated when I make one new save?
