Thanks John - yes, I added IE8 to one PC to check and have the same result -
see my last post to David... did the SP2 thing and it did not fix it!
very frustrated!

Richard,.
As of 10:00 am Aus eastern time this morning your Nav Bars do NOT show in IE
8.
Generally it looks good in firefox and goodness me you have put a lot of
work into it.
On the page DC Wiring - Wires the Home Top and Next links do not work. Some
others work and there a likely others that do not work, I have not had time
to check them all.

Cheers David - OK, I'll stop being lazy!
Yes, I have underscores in all filenames and folders.
I loaded SP2 and no problems with opening files etc, so recreated all
pages
and re-uploaded... I don't have IE8 to check but hopefully now they are
OK -
is there a way to check without installing IE8 (or can I have both on one
PC?)?
URL is www.dccconcepts.com
Now on to fixing all the pages that still display strangely in Firefox!
Question: I get the feeling I'm pushing S**t uphill with publisher with a
site this size.... (actually, thinking back, you did warn me :-) ).
Is there either a set of do's and dont's with MS publisher to avoid
firefox
etc conflicts, or should I perhaps look for a wysywyg web creation package
or
splash out on something like dreamweaver or elements... lots of $$ but if
I
should, I will.
As always, sincere thanks for using your free time to help me.

Sorry, but after you write the link once it should take you about 20
seconds
to change each one. Just be sure to test the first couple and make sure
that
you are writing the links correctly, so that you don't have to redo them
a
second time. And by the way, I am assuming that your subfolder is called
'PDF_dowloads' and not 'PDF downloads'. You probably know that you should
avoid spaces, special characters etc in the folder or file names,
correct?
The Office 2007 SP2 does fix the problem with the Publisher 2007 navbars
not
rendering in IE8. Your confusion is probably that some people have found
that after applying the patch they could not open existing Publisher
files.
the patch fixed one thing only to break another. As a result my
suggestion
has been to manually ungroup the navbars until MSFT debugged the SP. From
what has been reported the fix for the SP problem will be available at
the
end of June. Stay tuned.
And by the way, this does not fix the problem with Publisher 2003. Those
users will have to manually ungroup the navbars and any other design
elements on each page. Pub 2000 users don't have to make any changes in
their navbars from all the reports thus far.
As Spike suggested, I use the newsgroup rather than the forum, and don't
trust many of the features such as the notification feature of the forum
to
work. You are the second person this week to complain about not being
notified after getting an answer. The forums just are not as dependable
as
NNTP newsgroups in my opinion, or as easy to work with.

Thanks David - I was hoping for an easier way.. there are a lot of them
to
change...
BTW - I have noted the use of SP2 to fix the non appearance of nav bars
in
IE8 - but also noted a comment it doesn't work for some users - is
there a
definitive answer yes or no on this?
Finally - the link in the notification email to advise me of this reply
didn't work... I had to nav here by manual means - no big deal, but not
sure
if its a once off or a glitch only.... it may be useful for someone
managing
this site to know its not doing its job
kind regards

You need to rewrite the links in the Publisher publication, not the
.htm
file, and you will need to do that manually. It really should not take
that
long to select the hyperlinked text or object, and paste:
http://www.yourwebsite.com/PDF_downloads/XXX.pdf
into the address, and then just change the file name part on each
other
link.
Don't write the link to ftp.

Hi
(1) website made with pub2007
(2) PDF links work on desktop but obviously not on web as the still
point
to
the desktop.
(3) Its a pain as there are lots of links to be changed!
Is there any software that will reliably do a "find and replace"
automatically for links ie:
change...
"desktop/new_website/PDF_downloads/XXX.pdf
by changing the early part of the link to...
"ftp.xxx.new_website/PDF_downloads/
etc?
many thanks for all help
regards
Richard
