MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / July 2007Wrong Text in Navigation Bar
Using Pub 2000, I get the wrong page title in the Navigation bar. I have copied pages, renamed pages using the Web Page Properities; I have deleted the nav bar and re-added it. I still get the wrong title displayed in the Nav bar. The text is for pages that don't exist any more. How can I edit the pages source code or properities to find why this "wrong" information is displayed? You will need to rebuild your navbar. First back up your file in case something goes wrong. Then go to File > Web Properties > Page and untick "Add hyperlink to Web navigation bar" for each page, so that each page is disconnected from the navbar wizard. Then go through each page and delete the navbar off the page. Go to the design gallery and pick a navbar and insert it on page 1, which becomes your new navbar wizard control. Go through each page and recheck the page's option to be in the navbar which then populates the navbar wizard with the page. At that point the navbar on page 1 should display a link for each page, and you then copy the navbar and go through the remaining pages and paste it.

David, just curious after reading this post, why not just build the nav bar on the index page then send it to the background so it appears on every page in the exact same place. M.

The navbar wizard writes relative links which don't work in the background or the master page in newer versions. (In fact you should not use the master page with web documents in general.) Furthermore, if you are using a background color, texture or image, the navbar is likely to be hidden from view. And finally, if you place the navbar where you want it on the 1st page, copy, and then just paste on each successive page, it will appear at the exact same place if you pages are oriented the same as the first page.

David, Exactly why should you not use the master page for web docs? I thought that was the point? Just curious because I am having all kinds of problems. Brandy > M. Madison, > [quoted text clipped - 47 lines] > > > "wrong" > > > > information is displayed? As per your other message, you are used to using FrontPage, and that is a whole different animal. Why not? Just cuz ;-) I really can't explain it better than I did in the attached thread. It gives unpredictable results in Publisher. In some cases it might work ok, but in other cases it won't and especially with any hyperlink, as that link will likely be killed by turning everything on the master page to an image. Especially a problem when you try to put your navbar on a master page... DavidF > David, > [quoted text clipped - 68 lines] >> > > "wrong" >> > > > information is displayed? Excuse me, I meant M.

Thanks David; I normally build my navigation manually with text and assigning a hyperlick and it just saves time sending it to the background. > Excuse me, I meant M.

I guess I am not the only one that is thinking one thing, and type another... Actually, I gave up on the navbar wizard a long time ago and like you, use textual navbars and also build and insert navbars using Xara's MenuMaker. With Pub 2000 menus limited to 10 pages, I outgrew that limitation almost immediately. DavidF > Thanks David; > [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] > > > > "wrong" > > > > > information is displayed? Thanks for the help, but ... Even after rebuilding like you said the wrong text still showed up. I did fix the problem after much more "playing". I had to edit the title and let the wizard "sync" the data (even thought the text on the page was good). The wizard chaged the text to the now valid although "not wanted" new title. I then changed the title again to the desire (orginal) title and the wizard sync the text again to finish the experience. > You will need to rebuild your navbar.

This has happened to me in the past and I couldn't "fix" it. I was surprised that there wasn't more "posts" on the subject. Thank you once again for being there and help US less capable. > fwiw the nav bar wizard is well known to be "fragile". > the next version for Office 2007 has a more robust nav bar system.
