Can't publish draft from local file.

:confused; I have created web pages offline because our server was down. Now
I can't figure out how to publish them. All of the "Actions" menu are shaded
out except "edit page" I am set up as administrator. What am I missing???

In CS3 you cannot publish or sent files from your computer from the main menu.
What you can do is create a new (blank) page on your website and make links in
that page to the files on your computer. When you publish this page Contribute
will publish the pages to the server.

(check help section, search for: 'Publishing a file from your computer to your
website')

Sorry, tested it, but doesn't work... Bad help item, huh...
The file does not get uploaded and the link keeps referring to the file on my
computer. So this is no good at all.

This is what the help said:
---
Linking to a file on your computer
To add content to your website that you saved on your computer, create a link
on a page on your website to a file saved on your computer or network.

For example, you might link to a Word document saved on your hard drive or an
HTML page saved on your desktop. This essentially adds a new page to your
website, with the content contained in the file.

When you publish the page with the link, Contribute copies the file into your
website and then links to that copy--not to the actual file on your
computer--to create the new page on your website.

Maybe there is an extra setting that needs to be there, that I don't know, but
this could also be a bug.
