I have a site created with pub 2007 which works fine in I.E. 10, but links
don't work in older versions of I.E.

Don't worry about it being a work in progress...all sites are, and
especially in this newsgroup. Besides...your home page is really quite
creative. That may be the problem however. You have layered a lot of things
on the home page, and as a result, the video link in the text box on the
home page does not work in either FF or IE6. (in the future, go to Help in
IE, and about IE and it should tell you what version you are using...which
is probably IE7 because it was the first with tabs). That link does not work
because it has been converted into an image. Try to select some of the text
from the page around the "click here" link. Notice that you can't...it is an
image. Now on your Products page:
http://www.videocurrent.com/index_files/Page318.htm you also have some links
in the body of the text "previous" and "next". Those links do work in both
IE and FF. What did you do different on the two pages?

Sometimes it is grouping. If you group design elements together, sometimes
that will result in the text being converted to an image. Try clicking on
the text box and Arrange > bring forward. If neither ungrouping or bring
forward work, then you may have to deconstruct the page, element by element
until you find what is converting the text into an image. Just pull design
elements off your page into the scratch area one by one until the lnk works.
You then will know what you need to do in order to get the link to work
correctly. And before you do that go to Tools > Options > Web tab and
uncheck "rely on VML..." and "allow png...". This alone might fix the
problem.

I didn't go through your whole site, but it does seem like your main menu
links work fine. If you have other links that aren't working, then follow
the suggestions above. If you can't figure something specific out, then post
back with a link to that issue and we will try to sort it out.
