True, Publisher CAN work well...IF you are careful.
I publish my the HTML version of TechTrax using Publisher and I've also
posted it to the web...it's worked out great. Can't remember if I printed
it, but I assume it would be good there, too. Here's an old sample issue of
the online version.

But to be honest with you, I think the problem is that you went nuts
customizing the template and got yourself in trouble. I didn't have time to
mess with the format, so I used a very basic format with just a few
textboxes.
Whereas in yours, it showed up with a PILE of tables. Not just cells...but
tables all over the play...and as I mentioned, it showed about 12 unnamed
layers.
So my suggestions would be to use Publisher, but start fresh with a new
template from the gallery and GO EASY on the customization, particularly if
you can't read the underlying code.
I'd also suggest you read some of the HTML/Web related articles that David
Bartosik (Publisher MVP) has posted here.

Dian, I agree that Publisher has flaws, like many of Microsoft Office
products, but the fact that the newsletter comes out great on paper, I'd
liketo be able to use something that I can then put up on the web too. I've
hear this over and over from people about how the codes get messed up in
Word, etc. Got any suggestions on a product that works for both, print and
html?
It's also weird that parts of it are just perfect and then the one area
wherethey go wacko.
I can also use CuteFTP to upload and see if it was Dreamweaver that made it
aprobem but I think it's probably Publisher and how it converts it. So if
wecan figure out what code I need to correct when it converts it, then I can
just do that every month, if I have to.
Thanks for trying to make my life a bit easier...~Sue

Yeah, and one problem I see by pulling the HTML into Dreamweaver, is that
there are about 12 unnamed layers in the doc! YIKES!
And I do see the problem...the right cell goes about 2 feet across the page!
I had to scroll about 30 seconds to grab that end. I'd hoped if I could pull
it in, I could see what code would be reset...but it won't come in!?!?!
Sorry...very hard to figure this one out and I can't spend more time on this
now.
