Re: Can't activate web links

I'm sorry, but it still isn't clear to me what in the world you are doing.
Some questions:
Are all your pages in one Pub document?
Have you created more than one navbar, where one works correctly, and the
other doesn't? Is this the left to right, right to left stuff?
Is this when you are previewing the webpage, or are you talking about the
status bar at the bottom of the Pub document?
Is your page actually posted...if so, what is the URL?
Have you run the design checker?

I still can't get my head around this left to right stuff. If your navbar is
created correctly, it should not matter which button or link you click, in
what order. That link if written correctly should take you to the correct
page. If a button is labeled as 'contact us', but it takes you to your
'home' page, then the link is incorrectly written. Did the instructions I
included about how to reorder your links in your navbar address your
situation?

Post back with answers to the questions above, and maybe I will understand.
In the meantime, it probably is not helping that you "have a frame around
each page"??? If you have a multipage Publisher web document, all the pages
are by default, one length: 4,608 pixels. However, when you publish your
site, Publisher will automatically shorten your page to just beyond the last
element on the page. If you have a page with content that covers 4,000
pixels of the length, then that will be the length of the resulting page. If
you have a page with content that only covers 150 pixels, that will the
length of the published page. You do not draw a frame around a page to
change the length, nor do you even have to create more than one Pub doc to
accommodate pages of different lengths...that is automatically done in Pub
2003 (not 2002).

Hi David. When l click on the links from left to right they show the right
page with the corresponding link. If l click from the right side of
page(link) and continue to click links across, the pages do not match the
links .eg. the 'contact us' link will reveal the 'home' page and so on.

I am talking about my web pages that are designed in Publisher, but not
using a wizard, just my own design starting on a blank sheet. Each of
these
are separate pages with my business logo on the top of each one.l did not
use
a master page as each of my pages are different lengths with a frame
around
each one. In effect,the links are not staying with the matched pages like
normal. Regardless of where I click the corresponding page should show i
would have thought. I inserted a nav bar on each page as they suggest for
separate page, so l figured they should all relate to each other?

I have downloaded service pack 1&2 for publisher off MS website to see if
that helped and it didn't. I have reordered the links several times and
tried
various things but it won't stabilise. Hope this helps makes things a bit
clearer. Thanks for the tip on hyperlink colours, l didn't realise they
only
worked after publishing to the web.

I have read your question several times, but still don't understand what
you
are asking. Web pages are not linear...they can be in any order. Are you
talking about your Publisher file, or your web pages? Please explain
left to
right...right to left...those words don't fit with web pages???? Perhaps
you
are wanting to reorder the links on your navbar (from Help):
You can change the order in which links appear on a navigation bar. If
you
reorder links on the navigation bar, it will not change the actual order
of
pages in your Web publication. Similarly, if you move the pages in your
publication, it will not reorder the corresponding links on the
navigation
bar.

1.. Select the navigation bar that you want to change.
2.. On the Format menu, click Navigation Bar Properties, and then
click
the General tab.
3.. Under Links, click the link that you want to move, and then click
either Move Up or Move Down to move the link.
4.. Repeat step 3 until all of the links are arranged in the order
that
you want, and then click OK.

As per your "followed hyperlinks", perhaps you have misunderstood the
concept. Once you publish your site, and use a link once, then it
changes
color to the "followed" color, or in other words, you "followed" that
link.
It does not change color as to which page you are on. I believe that
some of
the navbars in Pub 2003 do show a highlight of sorts on the button when
you
are on that page, but that is not affected by the "followed hyperlinks".

If I guessed wrong, please rephrase your question about your navbar, and
we
will try to help.

I have set up a web site from scratch with a navigation bar on each
page.
I
can't get the home page to come up first then have the other links
follow
in
a requested order. From left to right they are in order, from right to
left
they are jumbled. The colour format did not work for my 'followed
hyperlin
ks'
either so l dont know what page l am on either. How can l stabilise
home
page
link and have others follow as they should be?
