Publish files from Adobe Bridge to Adobe Contribute (Windows only)

You can select the following file types in Adobe Bridge, and publish them in Adobe Contribute: .doc, .xls, .docx, .xlsm, and .xlsx. When you publish a Microsoft Office document that contains other files, the additional files are copied to your web page draft automatically.

Start Adobe Bridge.
Select the file you want to publish to Adobe Contribute.
Select Tools > Contribute > Publish To Website.

Note: The Tools > Contribute > Publish To Website menu is available for the Windows platform only.

The Publish To Website dialog box appears.
To select the settings for publishing the document, do the following:
1. Select the website where you want to publish the file.
  
  Note: If you do not have a connection to your website before you publish a document, you can create one by selecting Create New Connection in the Select pop-up menu in the Publish To Website dialog box. For more information on creating a website connection, see Create a website connection.
2. Select a location for storing the file.
  
  Note: You can select multiple files or folders from Adobe Bridge to publish in Contribute.
3. Enter a filename. The filename must not have any spaces, tabs, or alphanumeric characters.
4. Select a format.
5. (Optional) Clear the Publish Current Selection Only check box to publish the whole document instead of the selection.
  
  You can also set these preferences in the Microsoft Documents tab from the Edit menu in Contribute. To do this, select Edit > Preferences > Microsoft Documents and make a selection. For more information on setting these preferences, see Set Contribute preferences.
Click Publish.

Contribute publishes the document to your web page, and a confirmation dialog box appears.

Note: If Contribute is not running when you publish a file from Adobe Bridge to Contribute, Adobe Contribute is started first, and then the Publish To Website dialog box is opened.
Click OK.
