I just wanted to know whether web pages designed in Microsoft Publisher are OK to upload to proz? I know that Microsoft FrontPage is problematic - so just wondering about Publisher...

interested Mar 8, 2006

I'm also interested to know as I've almost finished my website using Publisher and would like to know if it's easy to upload it .

Hopefully someone who has done that before can tell us.

My own page was done with Microsoft Publisher Mar 8, 2006

I used Publisher to create my site. I was very happy with how it ended up looking. However, once I published the *.pub file (to generate the *.htm files) , I could not quite get the FTP thing to work in order to upload my files to the ProZ server. I ended up uploading all the files, plus the images, manually, about 12 at a time. It was very tedious.

I think it had more to do with my particular computer, and others would have an easier time.
