About converting publications between print and Web mode

You can create two types of publications with Microsoft Publisher: print publications and Web publications. When you work on a print publication, you work in Print mode, and the options available to you are tailored to print publications. Web features that are unnecessary for print publications, such as navigation bars, are not available in Print mode. When you work on a Web publication, you work in Web mode, and the options available to you are tailored to Web publications. Print features that do not render accurately in a Web browser, such as text wrapping around pictures and graphics, are not available in Web view.

After you create a print publication, you can convert it to a Web publication, and vice versa. When you convert a publication from one type to the other, Publisher copies the text and graphics from your original publication into the new publication type. If you used a wizard to create your original publication, you will no longer be able to use the options available in that wizard in your converted publication. Because certain print features are not available in Web mode, and certain Web features are not available in Print mode, your publication may undergo formatting changes when you convert it from one publication type to the other.
