I sure don't understand the point that they are trying to prove with that
second link. Why NOT use the proper tool? Yes, I can hammer a nail with a
shovel...........!

The point is that MS Publisher has the ability to create a web site very easily, and what it
produces may be all that the user wants or needs, plus the user truly doesn't have to know anything
about HTML.

Actually the sites create with Publish look pretty good, and it only "us" developers that care what
the HTML source looks like. Bottom-line, if displays in the current browsers (read that as the
Publisher user's browser) and Publisher user is happy, who are we to complain.

Granted, FP should be the tool of choice for web design, but it is not, and it is not for everyone.

I can understand that.

However, there's always a but or a however...I just experimented with turning my print Newsletter into a web page...and I stand by my previous comments...a mess. I suppose if I spent an hour moving stuff around I'd get it to how it looks in print...but by then I coulda just create the page in FP and pulled in the graphics. And all that vml and positioning stuff...

I think it would have produced a better page if I started with a blank, and not tried a conversion.
 
Rob, the differences is in using the Web Site templates to start with, not the saving of a regular
Publisher template as a web.

As long as you don't start telling people to use FrontPage for the
