How to Activate a Website Using Microsoft Publisher

Activate a website by utilizing Microsoft Publisher's drop-down menus. Learn how to use the Publisher Type to prepare your documents for web activation. Familiarize yourself with the common misconceptions about Publisher websites, and learn what elements Publisher allows you to activate on your website. Websites created by Publisher are static web pages, that is, meant to be read as an online document with limited functionality, not an interactive website. Your Publisher websites can serve, for example, to market a business, share ideas or self-publish your work


Instructions

Step 1

Start Microsoft Publisher. Click on the File menu, and then select "New."

Step 2

Select "Websites" from the Publication Types list.

Step 3

Select "Blank Sizes" and then choose the size of your website.

Step 4

Click "Create."

Step 5

Type your web page content. If you've already created your content, paste it into the Publisher screen. Do not try to divide your content into frames, such as those pasted from a Word file. Publisher does not produce frames on a website.

Step 6

Click on the File menu. Select "Web Page Preview." The web page you've just created opens in your browser (Publisher is designed to display web pages in Internet Explorer and may not display well in other browsers.) Check the preview of your website to ensure that all the elements are working properly, including hyperlinks and navigation controls. Forms will not be visible in a preview because Publisher uses Front Page to process data forms.

Step 7

Upload your file. Be sure to use an HTTP (not FTP) protocol to activate your website. After submitting your form, follow the prompts on the confirmation screen. Your website is now activated.
