Newbie to Publisher Question Follows :) :

How do I edit ....let's say the Home page of a premade website in publisher
and remove an object and have that change apply to all the pages.

I seem to be able to change the contents of the premade pub site text box
and have it apply to all the pages on the site . If I delete the Object it
only applies to that one page .

ANY HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED!

The only object that is shared across all pages is the Navigation bar
wizard. If you use the nav bar wizard then changes to the nav bar are
populated thru all copies of the nav bar in the site.

I'm using Pub2003. When I change the Text in a text box it changes
throughout all the pages. That I have tested. ONLY if I delete an object do
the changes take place on that particular page. I am using a site that is
one of the templates in pub2003.

I am trying to make a consistent title portion at the top of my page. There
must be a way to delete across the pages since content in objects updates
across the site.

Thanks for helping out and anymore info is greatly appreciated.

Not a literal 'text box'. If you insert a 'text box' on multiple pages you
don't have content on one show on the other as well.

Now the text area of a nav bar 'wizard' does carry over to other pages. This
is so you only have to update the menu in one place.

And some of the templates have 'page headers' that work the same as the nav
bar wizard in that they carry over, this is to allow you to change the title
only once and in fact it is connected to the page title dialog in web
options.

Deleting that page header object on one page does not remove it from others.
If you delete the page header object you cannot get that functionality back.
You can go to Insert, Design Gallery Object, and select and insert a 'page
header' but that linking feature will not be present.

If you had for example a logo that you wanted at the top of each page you'd
have two options, 1- you copy/paste the logo on each page, 2- you paste the
logo on one page and then go to Insert, Page, and select the option to copy
all objects on that page.
