automatic format synchronization

[mikesammy]

I have several menu buttons on my web site. When I change labels on one
button, all the others change as well due to format synchronization. I know
you can "undo" this each time it happens; but how do I turn it off
permanently.

Also, I have created a series of Styles for my site. They work fine when I
apply them. However, if I quit the publication and return all of the styles
have reverted to "Normal". I most cases the text retains the format
attributes, but calls it "normal". One style in particular is a pain in the
nexk because it reverts to the "Normal" attributes rather than what I have
applied.

I'm not in front of the computer under discussion right now. However, I
believe it's 2004. It was part of the MS Office software I purchased with my
Dell computer toward the end of last year (OS XP). The most annoying of the 2
problems mentioned is when the styles all revert to "Normal". I must then
re-do them all manually.

Is this the navigation bar wizard in a web publication in Publisher 2003
that you are speaking of?

This isn't necessarily a "wizard" When you click "styles and formatting"
under the Format menu it activates a tool bar that shows all of your styles
-- both the default styles and those I've created on my own.

I'm doing a family tree web site and created a style called "biodata" (it's
9pt arial, not bold, color green). The "Normal font is 10 pt times, not bold,
black. I can go through the site and designate verious places as the
"biodata" style and it holds as long as the file is open. If I close the file
and come back to it later, some of the "biodata" items retain that format.
However, most have reverted to "normal" as shown in the tool bar. This means
I have to go through every text box and re-designate it to my chosen style.

As to my other issue of "synchronization", I have four buttons along the
left side of the page, each is supposed to link to a specific part of the web
site. If I change the name -- or anything else -- on a button, then click off
it, all the buttons "synchronize" to that same name. I can go to the edit
menu and click "undo synchronization" after each change, but I'd really like
to just turn off this feature.

Thanks for any help you can give

I'm referring to the wizard that is the navigation bar in Publisher 2003. If
you are using a template site or inserted a nav bar then you are using the
nav bar wizard which dynamically controls the buttons created for each page
in the publication and the text on the buttons is controlled thru the page
title box in the web options dialog under the Tools menu.
Your publication formatting is under Format menu. As for the style it may be
a corruption issue, try deleting the style and clear formatting off the text
and create the style new. Though the corruption may be in the file, files
can get corruption from using the nav bar wizard incorrectly. I'd suggest
creating a new pub file and creating the style and test what happens in that
new file.
