recovering html

[Dave the dummy]

ust built a website using publisher but when I came to save it Publisher
defaulted to save as index.htm so I didn't realise that I should have saved
it as .pub as well.
I have an earlier version with only about five pages which I can call up,
but the version I published is about 18 pages. If I take the five page
version how can I relink all the later pages to the index.html which I have

I have used that expression to describe myself at times...

You might find your file in the temp folder. In Windows Explorer type %temp%
in the address bar. Look for any file that starts with pub, change the .tmp
to .pub. Or try to find a temp file that is about the right size and the
right date.

If that doesn't work, are you using Pub 2003 or 2002? If so, then you should
read: Common Sense Computing 101 aka "Why in the world would you lose your
publisher file?":

After getting kicked around a bit for not saving and backing up your Pub
file, David gives you some great tips for backing up, and then at the end of
the article gives you a way of possibly recovering much of what you lost.
Good luck...
