How to Build Web Pages With Microsoft Publisher

Build a simple webpage or website using Microsoft Publisher 2007.

If you do not possess HTML coding skills and would like to build a Web page, Microsoft Publisher 2007 is a great tool to use. The Easy Web Wizard in Publisher provides a simplified approach to creating Web pages and/or websites. You can customize your Web pages by adding additional pages, or by adding a background sound. If you would like your Web page to be viewable on the Internet, you must subscribe to a Web hosting plan and then use Microsoft Publisher to publish your Web page or website online.

Instructions

1. Open Publisher 2007 and then select "Web sites" from the "Publication Types" list. Select the "Use Easy Web Wizard" from the Options task pane, choose a Web page design and then select "Create." The Easy Web Site Builder dialog box will open.

2. Select the "Display a list of projects or activities" if you would like to create a Web page displaying a list of items. If you would like your Web page to display links to other Web pages, check the "Provide links to other web pages" box. Choose the "Describe Services" box if you would like your Web page to display any descriptive information about you.

3. Select "OK" and then type the information matching the options you selected in the "Easy Web Site Builder" dialog box. For example, if you selected the "Describe Services" box, type any descriptive information under the section.

4. Add additional Web pages by selecting "Insert," choosing "Page," clicking on "Page Type" and then selecting "OK."

5. Create a title for your Web page by selecting "Edit," choosing "Business Information" and then typing a name in the "Individual name" box. If you would like to display your contact information on your Web page, type your address, phone number and email in the "Address," "Phone," "Fax," and "Email" boxes, respectively and then click "Save."

6. Preview your Web page by clicking on "File" and then choosing "Web page preview." You have successfully created Web pages in Microsoft Publisher.
