upload blues

[Lucie]

When I try to upload my page all goes well right up to
the very last "saving files" box when Publisher ceases to
respond. I have the latest version and have reinstalled
it twice. HELP! My business is down!
Thanks in advance,
Lucie

You most likely have an object overlapping the document area (the white
page) and the scratch area (gray background).
Go thru the whole publication and correct any cases of this. Objects must be
on one area or the other, not both.

Is this version 2003?

about your issue, I believe (I'd have to test an upload to your server) the
issue is due to the file sizes in your site and the time needed to upload
them accordingly. You have some huge image files (more on this in a
moment) - for example the image of the couple on page 14 is a whopping 2 mb.
I believe what is happening to you is that your connection times out. Either
the ISP drops it or perhaps the web server host closes the connection. As in
your upload takes more time than they allow for.

Your web pages load slow in the browser as well due to the file sizes.

The solution to all this is time-consuming. Right now you are inserting full
size and full resolution images on the pub page. You then scale the picture
frame to the size you want on the page. Problem with that is that Publisher
uploads that full size image. (previous versions of Pub made a copy of the
image in the scaled down size). What happens is that the browser then needs
to download and resize the image onto the page.

What you want to do is make web versions of your images before you design a
page. In the photo/graphics editor of your choice (Digital Image ships with
Pub 2003 deluxe, Picture Mgr ships with Office 2003) size the image to about
the size you want to use on the web page and also save it in a web
resolution (i.e.: 96 dpi) versus a photo resolution (i.e.: 300 dpi). Your
web versions of your images will probably be more in the size range of 10-30
kb each rather than the 600 - 1000 kb you have now. Insert these web copies
on the publisher page. (you can still make little sizing adjustments).
