What is the differences in Publisher and Frontpage and can they b.

[Guest]

I have built a web page with Frontpage and now I have recieved information
that is in Publisher. I have just started this web page and was wondering the
differences in Publisher and Frontpage? Can the be used togather? How do you
convert one to the other, or do you need to?

Publisher is a Paper/Print Media Page based product
- it will build "webs" but they are an atrocity
FrontPage is a Web Site (screen) development tool

Conversion is possible (w/ newer version of Publisher), but painful and sloppy

IMHO
use the right tool for your end product from the start and don't mix them

Publisher is for PRINT, Frontpage is for ONLINE.

What do you mean: "..I have received information that is in Publisher.."

Anyway, you can but you definitely shouldn't use Pub for Web.
The only thing I might use Publisher for in Web design is a quick 'sketch' of what a web might look like.

I assume that someone has handed you a Publisher file or document...



If that is the case, launch both Publisher and FrontPage, select and copy

the text in Publisher, create a new page in FrontPage, paste the text.
