You have two options: published only pages that have changed, or publish the entire site (overwriting what's there now.)
Before you publish the "new" stuff, BACKUP your "old" site (just in case - wink.) Great options and instructions for doing that here: http://accessfp.net/backupfp.htm
If you have "new" pages with the same names as "old" pages, those will overwrite the pages at the server when you publish. Front page should list them and ask you if you want to overwrite them when you publish. Make sure each one should be replaced, and say "yes."
If you have "new" pages with different names than the "old" pages, but you want to replace the old with the new, you can either rename the new pages to match the old (imho, the easiest and safest solution) and refer to the above paragraph, OR after you publish the "new" pages, look at the Remote side of the web in FP, and right-click, Delete the "old" pages that were replaced by "new" ones.
The other option is, if your "new site" is vasly different from the"old" one, choose the option to publish all pages and overwrite the "old" site with the "new" one. I would still take a look at the Remote side after you publish to be sure there aren't any "old" files lurking there that you'd like to delete -- better to do it while the new stuff is fresh in your mind and you are sure what to delete.
I hope this helps.
Sally
