About Dawn Douglas Expertise I can answer most questions about Microsoft Publisher.
Experience I have been using Microsoft Publisher for 11 years. I started with Adobe InDesign and Pagemaker. I like Microsoft Publisher for it's ease of use.
Education/Credentials I am self taught in Microsoft Publisher. I learned by doing.
I would need to know some more information before I could give you a good answer.
(1) What version of Publisher
(2) What's your operating system
(3) What browsers are you using
(4) Who is your web host
Without specifics, I can only guess in a general way. When your navigation work in your test browser but not when you upload the site, it could be the browser can't read your code. Publisher typically does work when viewed with IE, but not with FireFox or some other non-IE browser like Safari.
If that is the case, the workaround is to ungroup the bottom navbar from the
side navbar and the wizard.
Select the navbar > Arrange > Ungroup.
Test the links before you save the changes to confirm that they now work.
Note that when you ungroup the bottom navbar, that navbar will not be
automatically updated if you add another page as it is ungrouped from the
navbar wizard. You will have to do it manually.
So, wait until you have added all the pages you expect to need for your web before you ungroup.
If that doesn't work, please provide the information and I will see if there might be another problem.
