"publish from" drive

Another dumb question, but if you need to know, you need to know. I was
playing with some templates that I downloaded. The templates are on "C". Now,
when I go to "publish web", it wants to publish these templates. The thing I
actually want to publish, (change), is the page I have open, which is on
another drive. I see how to change the destination for the changes, but not
where to change the "from" folder.
 
FP only publish web sites, not stand alone pages
- Import the loose pages into your local site (the web site you have open in FP)
- and then Publish to your remote site
(set the remote site location in Remote Web Site View - Remote Web Site Properties

Thanks for your reply, but it doesn't address the question I'm asking. I
guess I just wasn't clear enough. I have a page open on my screen. The page
is already part of a published web on the server. I make changes to the the
page. I click "publish to web" & a dialog box comes up that says, "publish
from C", & shows the files to be changed on the left & the files that are on
the server on the right. The page I want to change, the one on my screen, is
 
How do I "tell" the program where the files I want to publish are?
You open the website containing the pages in Expression Web and publish
the website.

It sounds like you have opened a website on your C drive, and with this
site open, have used File->Open to open a page in a different website
(on the F drive). If you choose to publish, the web on C will be
published, not the web on F. The page open on screen will not be
published - unless it has been saved to the current (open) web.

It sounds like I'm either not asking the right question, (quite possible), or
I'm just not being clear in some other way. I had no other anything open. I
had one page open on my screen, & this page is a part of an already published
web. The page resides in a folder on F drive. I simply wanted to update the
page on the server, but clicking publish web opens C drive, & an unpublished
web.

I really just want to know if it is possible to choose where to publish
"from"? Drill down to a file & publish &, if it is, how?

The file on drive F must be part of a web that you have created on your FP drive or you will need to
import the file and any images, etc. in to the web on drive C, then you will be able to publish the
file via FP.

When working with FP, you need to always have a web / site open prior to opening a page, etc.

Thanks. I still don't know what my FP drive is, but I do see where I was
going wrong. Prior to opening a second web, I could always click publish web
when I wanted to make changes to the page I was working on, & it would open
the web on the server, & show which pages needed updating.

Now, I just open the page from the site on the server, make changes & save.
Or open the web first on F drive, make changes and publish, or save as &
replace. Right?
