SUMMARY

Publisher is designed to make it easy for you to create good looking Web sites. As much as possible, Publisher tries to make Web pages that appear the way the publication appears in Publisher.

There are, however, some features of the HyperText Markup Language (HTML) that Publisher does not directly support. If you want to add these features to a Web site created in Publisher, you have two choices:
  • Open the Web site in an HTML authoring program, such as Microsoft FrontPage, and insert a code fragment that will only be displayed when you preview or publish your document.

    -or-
  • Use a text editor, such as Notepad, to add the HTML code manually.

MORE INFORMATION

The major HTML features that Publisher does not directly support are:
  • Marquee (animated) text
  • HTML Frames
  • Scripts (VBScript, Java, and JavaScript)
If you want to create a Web site that uses these features, you can insert code fragments to utilize some of the HTML features not directly supported by Publisher. To do this, click HTML Code Fragment on the Insert menu and enter your custom code. Note that this code will not be checked for accuracy. For more advanced HTML code, copy the HTML code from Publisher into another HTML authoring program to add customized effects.
