Can this be Right?

I'm new to Publisher 2003, but it looks like a slick way to create a quick website design. Only problem is, it appears as thought there are no options for having files (html, jpegs, etc.) stored in separate directories on my web server? Also, it seems when I "publish to the web" publisher doesn't check for just the changed files, it just overwrites everything - into one directory? Can this be right?

Obviously I'm using the wrong tool if my assumptions are correct. For every typo I need to fix, I'll need to FTP everything for my web all over again. Doesn't seem very workable for a site that has more than 2 or 3 pages?

Correct. Publisher is a DTP tool, not a web design tool. Suggest you look at
FrontPage or DreamWeaver.

While Publisher is not necessarily the best tool for building a website,
Publisher 2003 does support incremental uploading. For the best information
about using Publisher for building a website go to David Bartosik's site:

Thanks very much David, I must have missed the incremental upload option. Now if we just had file structure..........
