I am very new at this, so bear with me. I purchased a Frontpage template
online that included flash files. When I clidk on the appropriate
flashsource file, it says "Frontpage needs a converter to display this file
correctly." When I answer "yes" to download the file, it says "Insert the
Microsoft Office 2000 Professional disk," which I do and it says it can't
find the appropriate file.
Does anybody know where I can get this file??

FP cannot edit Flash files, nor can any of MS's other products. You'll need
a special program to do this, such as Macromedia Flash. Of course, there are
other companies that make vector-graphics applications that can open and/or
create flash animations. One of the most popular is Swish at:

Hope this helps,

You can't edit Flash file with FP or any Office Application, so there is no converter available. You
have to purchase a Flash Editor.

PS
Or to view (not edit) flash files in your browser and FP (which uses IE)
- you at least need to install the Flash Player
See http://www.macromedia.com/downloads/

I saved a .pub file using MS Office Publisher 2000 and tried to insert it
into a FrontPage 2003 generated html file.
I get a message that a **LocalSettings/temporary internet
files/frontpageTempDir/xxx.pub cannot be loaded. I tried it multiple times,
and got a similar message each time, but with a different specific *.pub file
name.

Thank you for your response, Steve

Since MS pub files and FP html documents are incompatible, will stop trying
to do what I wanted to do.

Just to clarify what was obviously a poorly stated question: I am building
a website in FP2003 that is to include a restaurant menu. I used MS
publisher to make a menu, and I was trying to get that formatted menu into a
FP2003 page.

Thanks, Steve
On to Plan B (not sure what it is at this point, but there is always
something).

It won't work - but you can convert the pub file to HTML (through trial and
error - this isn't the best way to do it, presents more problems that it
solves).

Alternatives:

1) create the menu in frontpage from scratch

2) convert the publisher doc to PDF and link to that within your website.

However if you link to a *.pub file directly, users will need publisher to
view your publications.
 
Thanks, Andrew

I understand.
