Front Page and Publisher

[Guest]

I have a website, which I maintain using FrontPage. The server is hosted
elsewhere. I also have MS Publisher, which I have used to create a formatted
newsletter, which I have printed to an Adobe Acrobat Reader file, and which I
have posted on my site with a link. Some of my clients/readers have been
unable to open the Adobe file because it is fairly large, and their systems
are not state of the art. I would like to create more newsletters for my
website, but would like to publish them with more of a "web" format, with
hyperlinks, but using the Publisher formatting/design that I have used
before. How do I do this? Do I create the document in FP or Publisher?

Thanks.

Use FrontPage for best results. Publisher creates HTML pages that are
best described as atrocious.
If you use Publisher, you will find fine-tuning the web in FrontPage,
or any other editor apart from Publisher, is very difficult. The
pages will be mostly large images using absolute positioning. Your
clients (with the older systems) may have problems viewing them unless
you are very careful with sizing the pages - maximum width about 5 or
6 inches in the Publisher document.

It's best to start over and do the newsletter in Frontpage - importing a
publish doc is easy enough, but results are unpredictable and the html code
it produces is not terribly good.

Publisher is designed for print publications; frontpage is designed for
online (web pages) .
