I'm a rookie here, hope you can help me.

I received this question "Do you support publisher?" (I assume it's Microsoft publisher)

What kind of features do I need to support this?

Publisher has a feature where you can save to HTML... but if a potential client is using Publisher to write their site... I would probably just run. :D

I've seen a few sites written in Publisher and they had 10 times the needed code and were bloated as h*ll. Plus they may have scripting which is not standardized and could cause problems with servers.

Just ran a quick test... Looks like you just need to support FTP.

I just created a publisher document, and saved it as a web page, and then did the Save as Web Page, and created an FTP page.

Hope that answers your question...


Oh, it was MS-Publisher 2000 (No XP stuff here yet!)
