PUB97: Publishing Files to Site that Doesn't Support Long File Names (LFNs)

SUMMARY

If you are going to use Publisher to publish a Web site to a network or Internet service that does not support long file names, you must change the default Web Site properties before you publish.

By default, Publisher gives its Web pages the extension .html. For example, the first page of your publication might be called Index.html and the second page, Page2.html.

If you copy these files to a computer that does not support long file names, the names are changed. For example, Page2.html changes to Page2~1.htm. If the name of a file is changed, the hyperlinks to that page don't work.

You can configure Publisher to use the three-letter .htm extension.
