I think the last time I tried to make a webpage with Publisher it made the whole document into a picture background with links on top. That might put a dent in your plan if that's still the way it's set up.

I have built a website for my church and we are now wanting to put our newsletter online. It is currently being done in Microsoft Publisher. I would like to take the MS Publisher file and extract the data and insert it into a database (PostgreSQL) and then display it via PHP/Perl. Catch is, the data is not that consistent. The only thing I can think of is to have MS Publisher save it as HTML, and then go through and parse everything and get it put in the database. I know that would still involve some kind of consistency with the data. If there was a way for me to apply an XML DTD to the HTML, that would automate the process more. On the other hand, I could just have the entire newsletter HTML dumped in the database and then have it displayed like that (modifying the HTML of course). But that defeats the entire purpose of "automating" data. Any ideas on how this can be done, even if I don't have consistency in the data? Any help is appreciated, Kevin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient.
