Sorry about the delay..out of town..I do appreciate your timely reply..
Pub 2003...NS 7.1. I am not able to give you the URL, the site is not ready
to be viewed by the public. But, are you able to guide me as to what to do
about the dead links in NS (actually it is my left-side nav bars that don't
function at all -- but my horizontal one does) The site works perfectly in
IE. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Robert
Also, if you will: is there a way to insert a code snuippet where it needs
to go (e.g. <center> or similar) if I just use "ins. HTML frag." - it will
not work and if I use an external editor I can't find which is the 'master
page' to put it into - I can only insert on an individual page.
Thank you again

Without being able to view the pages and review the code I can't come up
with any clues about your issue. Though your last sentence concerns me...
are you using the Master Page in your web publication by chance? If so
DON'T. That may very well be the cause of your issue if you happen to have
the menu on the Master Page. The Master Page is for print publications. And
the Master Page is only a Publisher function it has nothing to do with the
actual html files in a web site. That said, you should not edit the html
files, all modifications are done in the Publisher web publication. Yes you
add code snippets via the code insert BUT page formatting tags like <center>
are ignored because Publisher maintains that coding. Actually even if you
added a center tag in the output code it wouldn't work (it's in the
[url]http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=30[/url] !)

Ideally you design the first page, and then when adding each new page you
use the options in the add new page dialog to use the same objects on the
new page. Otherwise you just copy and paste. If it's a whole page of objects
you group them and then paste the group.
