Using Office with a Web Server

How to Use the Web Publishing Wizard

If your Web server does not support Microsoft Office Server Extensions (OSE), you can use the Web Publishing Wizard to publish Web pages on the Internet or your intranet. This wizard automates the process of copying files from your computer to almost any Web server. You can use the Web Publishing Wizard to publish Web pages to Internet service providers (ISPs) such as CompuServe and America Online, as well as to servers on your intranet.

The Web Publishing Wizard is included in Microsoft Windows 98 and Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.0.

To install the Web Publishing Wizard (Windows 98 only)

1. In Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs, and then click the Windows Setup tab.
2. Click Internet Tools, and then click Details.
3. Click Web Publishing Wizard, and then follow the instructions on the screen.

Tip   On a computer running either the Windows 95 or a Microsoft Windows NT operating system, you can install the Web Publishing Wizard from the Internet Explorer 4.0 Setup program, or you can download the wizard from the Microsoft Web site at http://www.microsoft.com/.

If you want to publish to an FTP site or a Web site on the Internet, and you have an account with an ISP, then you can use the Web Publishing Wizard to copy your Web page to the Internet. The wizard works the same way whether you are publishing to your intranet, an FTP site, or a Web site.

To start the Web Publishing Wizard

• Click the Start button, point to Programs, point to Internet Explorer, and then click Web Publishing Wizard.

Note   The first time you run the Web Publishing Wizard, you must provide information about your ISP or intranet — including the protocol that sends files to the server, and the location of the server that stores the files.
