Lost Publisher Web Page

What's wrong?  Not enough points?  
RB

The points are fine... it's just that we don't typically use MS products to write html files due to such problems...  There are to many other editors out there that have no problems...

I am just using what I know and honestly, I would love to use a better one but I must use a software that will basically design the web page without my having to input HTML, while I cannot afford the luxury of buying more software.  Any ideas on this.  I would be glad to recreate the page as the one I have is very bland just like all of MS's templates.
Thanks,
Rick

There are a few WYSIWYG, (what you see is what you get) browsers that work great.  I use Homesite4.5 but there are better ones out there.

Mark

Forgive my ignorance.. if you have the files, why can't you upload them with something like WS_FTP?

Being inquisitive, I know, but I'd appreciate to hear the answer.  Thanks.

Oh never mind, I just re-read your question. Watch me slap myself on the forehead.

Sorry!

Jaguwar

Adjusted points to 200

the last part of Your question i don't understand...You say You'd have to redesign the whole thing if You used a different program...but You output it to HTML right?

now any decent WYSIWYG editor will be able to open that....saving it back to a publisher file is impossible..

You might try if You can open the webpage in Publisher though...i wouldn't know that...i never have used Publisher...but as to not wanting to redo the whole thing...use for example DreamWeaver...or (considering You are a designer) go for Adobe GoLive....

let me know if this was helpfull..

So in other words you are to lazy to learn to write HTML... :-|

I wish you luck ditch-digger.

You moron!  How inconsiderate and idiotic of you to assume someone else's life.  Did I ask you whether I wanted your opinion on learning HTML or not?  My life is so busy that I can't stop for hardly a moment to even pick up a book to learn HTML.  Do you have a life?  So as not to insult others in your field, you alone are a disgrace and what you are doing is being a representative of every other person that works with HTML and for many it is the way they make money.  My advice to your ignorant little mind, is to use this website as it is intended, not to throw out your shallow insults.
Begrudgingly,
Rick

"use a software that will basically design the web page without my having to input HTML".  In this field if you don't know HTML you are going to loose.  It was not an insult, only a statement to get your attention.  Since I succeded in my efforts, my "ignorant little mind" is content and fulfilled.

I'm not in this field!  I just want to recover a simple web page for my youth group man!  Get a grip.  You certainly did get my attention because I did not appreciate being called a ditch digger okay?  Now, go to somebody else's question and let an expert answer mine!

You don't get it do you...  We at EE cannot undo what you have already done, we can't recover files you lost, we can't fix your mistakes.  Your question doesn't have an answer.  Why don't you just ask, "I deleted a file and I need it back, can you send it to me..."

Here is a thought, if you can still see the page in a browser anywhere, you can recover the code.

This question has a deletion request Pending

No "real" answer and problem resolved apart from this site while waiting for an answer.
Rick

This question no longer is pending deletion

Good boy...

I was curious...just curious to know why Mr. Mark aka Mgfranz answered my question with "we at EE" as if to imply that he is an employee or perhaps an esteemed expert on the website.  True, he did first log in early 1997 and his grades are not too bad.  (A couple of C's but mostly A's and B's.)  However, I noted that there is also a top 100 list of top Experts who, in my humble opinion are worthy to say "we at EE."  Mark is so far off from this mark (no pun intended) that he would have to answer questions in his sleep to even get close to the top 100, yet he says "we at EE."  Very interesting yet quite hilarious!  Mark, don't make me sic dew_associates on you for trying to ruin "his" site!
LOL
Rick

Thanks a million Jag.  The previous "expert" needed to only do what you have just done and everything would have been so smooth.  Thanks for all your help.
Rick

You're very welcome Rick.
I'm glad it suits your needs.

Jaguwar

This is nuts....

i told You way before You could have recovered it with another editor....was i that bad in explaining it?

anyway...nice to hear You found a solution..

Max Davidse

Max, it was not that you explained it bad it is just that I am a complete novice and I need definite direction when it comes to this.  Mark made a very crude remark as to my needing to learn HTML but he did not offer any suggestions for how easy it really is.  Jaguwar gave me a link that had me up and running on learning HTML.  I don't know a way to give credit to two people because you did give me some good ideas as well.  Sorry.
Rick

it's ok Rick,

just hadn't really realized You were waiting to hear that HTML's not hard to learn...i thought what You needed to hear was that You didn't really loose Your document since You can still open it in an other HTML editor.

There's no need to give me any points for that my friend i was merely trying to help and i don't help to get points (no need for that because i just earned my first t-shirt on another question today...*cheers to himself* now i can finally get dressed....) but for the sattisfaction of being able to help anyone...

so don't hesitate if You should ever need my help again...

Max.

Max, how do I ask you a question directly?  I still do have questions.  I am learning HTML and that was not the initial intent of my question.  It sort of evolved to that but I still would like to ask you more about using an HTML editor to recover the web page that I have currently in order to at least do some updating.  This question turned into a nightmare.  I want to start fresh.  Congrats Max, you've done it and got a T-Shirt for it!
