navigation bar skips pages

[frazzeled]

Hi,

I have a 7 page site. When I try to add an 8th page, the nav bar skips page
5 and leaves a blank spot. The new page 8 shows up fine on the nav bar.

Thank you for your help.

Sorry, but your question is not clear. Which version of Publisher are you
using? You say that you had a 7 page site...did you have a working navbar to
all seven pages? Then you added an 8th page, and the link to the 5th page
disappeared? If you would like to try again in describing your problem,
maybe someone here can help.

In the meantime, go to Help in Publisher and type in "navigation" and read
all the subject material, and perhaps that will help.

Yes - the nav bar was fine until I added page 8. Then the link on the nav
bar to p. 5 vanished.

I've read everything I know to read, and.............

I'm doing this for work so I'm up against the wall.

Thanks for your help.

You might be able to repair it. As you did not answer my question about
which version of Publisher you are using, I will assume Pub 2003.

First back up your file in case something goes wrong. Click once on the
navbar to select it, and then on the wand that appears below it. That should
open a navbar options section to the left of your document. Under "Change
navigation bar" click on the Add, remove, and reorder links... The
Navigation Bar Properties will come up. Under Links, find your 5th page,
select it, and remove the link. Click Ok. The link should disappear from
your navbar if it appeared on any page. Then select the navbar, wand,
properties again, and click add link, select the page you want to add to the
navbar (the 5th page), and type in the Text to display, and click ok. The
navbar should now have a link for the 5th page.

Thank you for trying to help me David.

When I click the wand, all that pops up are options to redesign the bar with
different icons. I don't see the properties. (I have publisher 2002) When
the bar is selected, absolutely nothing appears between the 4th and 6th links.

I've thought about making on page with targets (or anchors) and eliminate
the need to add pages, but how?

Thanks again.

Ok..for Pub 2002.

Go through each page's web options dialog and uncheck the page's option to
be in the navbar so that each page gets disconnected from the navbar wizard.

Go through each page and delete the physical navbar object off the page.

Go to the design gallery and pick a navbar and insert it on page 1. That
becomes your new fresh navbar wizard control.

Go through each page and check the page's option to be in the navbar which
then populates the navbar wizard with the page. When that's all done the
navbar on page 1 should display a link for each page.

Copy the new navbar and go through the remaining pages and paste it.
