Hello,
I m in the process of purchasing a new web design software.
I was using MS Publisher.
I have WIndows 7 now and MS publisher is no longer working.
I am used to using a blank screen and building on page at a time.
I use music & pictures and newsletters, I want learn some animation.
My web hosting guy told me I might like Coffee Cup. Because of the support.
I read on liune that you have to peice Coffe cup together to make it work.
I would need to have some help with that and I also want to make sure this
will work with all browser. I phones, tablets, cell phones, I pods. desk top and laptop.
can you help me here.

I am a visual learner. first

Thanks

If you prefer a visual approach to web design, download a free trial of CC Visual Site Designer (VSD).

CoffeeCup also has a lot applications for sound, picture galleries, videos, web forms etc, but since they are flash based as of now, and you want everything to work on the various i-gadgets from Apple, you may want to wait a bit until they have been converted to not using flash.

We are a friendly lot here, and if you need assistance, just give a shout. :)

BTW, strange that you can't get MS Publisher to work on Win7. I have win7 and am using a 2K version of Publisher (not for the web, though) which is working fine.

Nothing to do with CoffeeCup Software but something to do with MSPublisher.

About three months ago we upgraded our home systems to Win7. MSPublisher is used heavily by my wife to produce a monthly Car Club newsletter. It was an absolutely mandatory requirement on her local support person (me) that MSPublisher 2003 work on the new systems

It does. First edition created on the new environment went to the printers this week.

Hello John,
Thank you for your kind reply. Just to make sure I understand.
I can use my microsoft publisher Older copy 2003/2007 copy with windows 7.
I purchased MC 2010 ... and installed it.
Would I just stick in the CD and hit install with the 2003 and see what happens?

Quick question if you can check to see if the copy of msp on your system now lets you save as web page, web preview. Then I will load my 2007 or 2003 copy on windows 7.
Thanks a million.

I have Microsoft Office 2003/2007/2010 all installed on my Win7 64 bit. :D
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Hello Inger,

Thank you for your reply,

So the CC software will work now on every thing but Apple?

So all I need to start is VSD? To pick up where I left off.
will I need to redo all of my web pages/sites in the new VSD
or will I be able to change out music or fix a word mistake and repost with
VSD (I was using mcp for years with out a problem)

I do understand that the new MCP will not design web pages anymore.
So it's time for me to learn now a new way that I can continue on with the new features and web browsers and phones laptops and desktops...
Thanks

You can take a look at the site in my signature if your looking for something that VSD can't do with the built in tools.:)

Helping hands,

Not sure what you mean by 'MCP'. If you mean Microsoft Publisher, I would have thought 'MSP' would be a better acronyme.

With VSD You can't just load your existing pages. You can copy-paste the contents, but I don't know what kind of code Publisher has created. In most cases it would be better to start from scratch, so that you don't get any unwanted code from an old system.
