Hi All, I was wondering if anyone could help me? I have created my website in Publisher, trying to save money while starting my small business. But now I have a problem with it not showing properly in all browsers Mozilla, Opera etc., I finally got it to show it little better but now the bottom nav buttons do not work and one of the pages (the sentences are mixed together) can anyone help I have been struggling with this for some time now trying to resolve the problem which I have very limited website experience. How can I import website to frontpage or another program where I can maybe simplify things. Any help is much aapreciated, thanks in advance. :(

Post a link to your site and maybe someone can see the problem. I suspect that your code is filled with MS proprietary junk.
How can I import website to frontpage or another program where I can maybe simplify things. If you use Frontpage you won't be making any improvements in cross-browser support. Download and install Nvu (http://www.nvu.com/index.php). Use it to open your web pages and see if it can repair your problems. I've found that it's usually easier to start over by putting your content into a new file than to repair something created by an MS application like MS Word or Frontpage.

If you open your current site with Firefox and then change font size, you'll see that all the pages are going to be messed up, not just the one you mentioned. I read/write html and css but the proprietary code created by the software you used is a nightmare to work with. If I had the software that you created the site with I might be able to find something there but I doubt it.

Start from scratch and make a new html file in Nvu. Design your basic generic layout with links, buttons, images, etc. Leave an area for the basic text content. Save it and use it as a template for making the pages on your site. Open a browser with the contents of your existing site and then copy/paste the text from the page into the new file.

Harsh I know, but unforrtunately I've no clue how to fix your existing pages. Maybe someone else can come up with an easier fix.
