How to publish using Microsoft Publisher

The following tutorial will assist you with publishing your website using Microsoft Publisher.

1. Open Microsoft Publisher, and then open the website you have developed.
2. 

   Click, “File“, “Publish to the Web…“

   

   If you receive a generic message regarding, “To publish your Web site, you need to subscribe to a Web Hosting provider.” Click OK to continue.

   You will see a window asking you to save the file as index.htm. Change index.htm to ftp://example.com (replace example.com with your actual domain name) and click Save.

   In the, “FTP Log On” window:
   – Select, “User“
