KLo,

As per the navbar question, that's up to you. As I said, I have found that
in most cases the vertical navbars that are produced by the navbar wizard
seem to work pretty well in FireFox. However, a recent poster's site did
not. Once you get everything off the master pages, then test it in FireFox,
and if it doesn't work, then you will need a workaround. It seems that when
Publisher produces the HTML code, it converts the navbar into an image, and
I suspect that is what FireFox chokes on...that it breaks the relative
links. I have also found that gradient fills can also result in text boxes
with hyperlinks being converted into images, even in IE...

You can build a pretty nice looking manual navbar with absolute links. I
wouldn't use a table...that is also converted into an image. I don't think
you have to use separate text boxes either, but there is no reason you
couldn't. I had a navbar designed once where I put little gradient filled
text boxes beside another text box that had no fill, with the hyperlink and
it looked pretty good. And yes, you could just copy and paste to each page.
You can also use small image icons and insert them with hyperlinks...lots of
ways to design a navbar, including the method that David Bartosik described.
I use that one now for my bottom navbar, as it seems to always work. You can
also spiff things up a bit by inserting another bit of code:

<style>
a:hover {color: #ffffff; font-weight: bold;}
</style>

Just copy and paste this into a code fragment box and put it on each page
where it isn't in the way. Do a web preview, and mouse over your links. You
can choose different colors...and not choose bold if you don't want it. And
sometimes people use that snippet with this one:

<style>
a{text-decoration:none}
</style>

which will remove the underline of hyperlinks. Personally, I like having the
underlines as it tells the viewer without a mouseover that it is a
hyperlink. Tis all up to you....use the wizard navbars if they work for you,
or get creative. Welcome to web building...;-)

As to the vertical lines, hopefully that will take care of itself when you
do away with the master pages. If not, then you may have to do away with
them, and find a different design element that does work. Did you run the
Design Checker? That will help identify design problems...

Hope that helps...DavidF
