This article was previously published under Q195085



SYMPTOMS
When you create a bulleted list in Publisher 98 and then view the web page in a browser, the resulting web page may not use the same bullet colors that you specified in Publisher, specifically:
 * the first bullet is not colored

-or-
 * all the bullets are black

depending upon the Web Site Properties setting.



CAUSE
This is caused by the way that Publisher generates HTML code.



WORKAROUND
WARNING: ANY USE OF THE HTML CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. Microsoft provides this HTML code "as is" without warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

NOTE: The steps outlined in this article are not supported my Microsoft Technical Support.

Microsoft Publisher 98 does not directly support the changing of HTML code. You must change the HTML code after it has been exported from Publisher 98. You can use a text editor, such as Notepad or WordPad, or an HTML editor, such as Microsoft FrontPage, to make the change. You will need to edit the index.html file and add the custom HTML code. To do this follow these steps:   When using the HTML 2.0+ browsers, move the code for setting the color immediately after the  tag.

For example:    When using the HTML 4.0+ browsers add a line of code immediately after the  tag. Find the color code in the paragraph beginning #PubSt1F at the beginning of the code.

For example:  

You can preview the HTML page by opening the file in your Web browser.

NOTE: Your original publication will not reflect these changes.
