sounds like an dynamic web template, but dunno how you'd do one in publisher
unless he's modifying a template designed for something else like frontpage,
EW, or DW.

| Jack,
|
| Sorry, but I don't know what is going on. Did you start with a particular
| template? Did you try opening a new blank webpage and copy and pasting
your
| material over? Glad you figured out a workaround, but at this point I
don't
| know what else to suggest. Do get back to me about the template that you
| used....or...
|
| If you really want to take it to another level, then make a copy of your
| Publisher file, delete all the pages except the problem page, and send the
| file to yourself via YouSendIt. Then when you get the link from Yousendit,
| post it so I and others can download your file and experiment with it.
| YouSendIt is a freebie:
http://www.yousendit.com/ And you do not have to
| sign up to use it. I have used it a lot to send large files.
