MS Publisher Images--Where? How?

[naturetemple]

Could someone give me an easy answer to this "simple" dilemma?
I've designed my pages in MSPublisher 2002. I know it's not the best and Frontpage might be much better, but. . .I'm new at this and can't figure out how to get my photos to appear on my site (naturetemple.net). I'm obviously not naming them correctly or putting them in the right folder. Please help if you can.
Thanks!
Chris

but if Microsoft made things easy then they wouldn't need to know your charge card number. First, I like your site looks. Great job with the tools you have used. Next, it looks like MSPublisher uses the same internet/web techniques use by M/S Word to create html. Both use XML and CSS specifications. Maintaining this stuff will make you old before your time. CSS is a great tool but the way Microsoft uses it is not. They use CSS to locate every i, every t, every space, so finding a location in your source code is not always easy. But having said that. HTML will work just fine in your document. The basic HTML image/picture tag is <img border=0 src=yourpicturename.sufix>. You can align your images with the <center></center> tag or put it in a <table align=center><tr><td><img></td></tr></table>. The table can also be aligned left, the default, or right, or by absolute location. So down the road you go. Learn html as fast as you can. There are thousands of good html tutorials on the internet. Just enter html tutorial in a search engine and see. But get your site out of the grips of MSPublisher, and don't even get started with FrontPage, and learn html. After you learn html you can evaluate the other stuff without getting trapped by any of them.

P.S. On further review, your site is much larger than I initially realized. Oh my. You are much closer to an answer to your problem than I am. The solution obviously is in posting your images using MSPublisher and your evaluation of where your images should be foldered is key. For example, You have page2.streams1.htm in hotdocs. Are your image also in the hotdocs folder or a folder name page2_streams_images. MSPublisher will build the required XML/CSS/HTML if you specified the correct image folder but your images might just as well be in hotdocs also. So tell MSPublisher where you put the images for page2.streams1.htm. Sorry about my false start above and wish I could be of more help. We might need a new section name MSPublisher. Perhaps posting in the FrontPage section of the forum might be of use.

Thanks for the hints.
MSPub IS frustrating sometimes.
Could I trouble you to describe exactly how to folder those images? It seems I tried to put some in a folder in Pub and then upload the folder but nothing appeared.
Does it have something to do with how I label the image in my document using the graphics manager?
Then there must be a way of linking that I'm missing.
This is a basic question I know, yet once I "get it" I know it will be as easy as posting my other pages.
Once again, thanks!

I did not find a lot of help on the internet for MSPublisher. First step, are your images correctly rendering on your PC/local network. If they are then I would duplicate those folders built on your PC by MSP and FTP them to your internet site, same relative locations/urls, same names, same content.

[naturetemple]

Yes, the images look just right in my MSPUB pages.
I will try moving the folders and upload and see what happens.
Thanks again!
(I wish there was more MS help on this stuff).

or do I mirror my PC version of my site on the internet. But until you are in command of both I suggest you mirror your PC MSPublisher site on the internet. This is especially true of subfolders to the main folder (directory) or if there are no subfolders then it's a piece of pie. Think of your internet site as your remote PC. In fact some, people update their internet sites using online editors rather than FTP.
