I’ve been using InDesign for over a decade – but always in the print media department. I now have my own website and want to create a monthly newsletter in HTML (NOT an interactive PDF) and send it to my 400+ Customers. For some reason – perhaps I’m having a mental block – I can’t seem to get anything I ever try to export into HTML to work. Nothing ever resembles the InDesign Web Document I created, and I can’t link images to where I placed them on the Server. I can only access images via the “Place” function on my local network.
Am I missing something fundamental? I’ve searched on the Internet and tried a few of the tutorials that I’ve found, but they were oriented to Windows Users, and I don’t get the options that they claim to be available when I try to import a graphic. None of my HTML exports ever comes out right – just a haphazard stream with nothing in place at all when I view the output page in a web browser.
If anyone has a good link they could refer me to, I’d greatly appreciate it. I’m an advanced user when it comes to the print side of InDesign 6, but a virtual newbie with HTML coding and I simply get frustrated as all get-out when I try to use InDesign to create a web page. Is this software really capable of doing this, or is it all just an illusion?
Thanks in advance! I really appreciate your patience. Climbing the learning curve is not my strong suit…
