Can I create original navigation bars for Publisher 2003 designs?

[hal]

I would like to use my own art and create navigation bars for Publisher (to
go inthe Design Gallery). Is there a way to do this? I do not want to pick
from the predefined group of bars.

Thanks

There is a dialog in the design gallery that allows you to add items to it.
(specific to a pub file). Though doing so doesn't create a nav bar "wizard"
which the existing ones are. When you use your own navigation objects the
linking is your responsibility.

Thanks David. Is there a developer kit or something to create new wizards or
smart objects? My actual interest is to keep the ability to change the state
of the navigator buttons as they are clicked, but would like to use my own
button designs. In other words, the bars provide nice convenient behavior all
nicely packaged. I'd like to keep that behavior, but have the ability to add
new button designs that are not already in the Gallery.

There is VBA support, refer to
http://www.publishermvps.com/Programming/tabid/34/Default.aspx and also take
this discussion to our sub-forum on programming. I couldn't tell you what
Pub exposes in regards to the nav bar but our programming forum is the place
to discuss it. Also you'd want to locate the Publisher objects documentation
on Microsoft's MSDN site.

Thanks! I'll look on MSDN and the link you provide below and then post any
further questions in the programming subgroup.
