Hi,

I'm trying to find out if it is possible to stop the spaces that are
embedded within the code created for a horizontal navigation bar from
appearing. When viewing source it is possible to see them between one button
and the next.

thanks for any help

Neil

You can edit the formats used for navbars to remove the spaces
The formats for the Nav bars are stored In the file NAVBARS.INI in the folder
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\1033\BOTSTYLE
or for FP2002 in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\1033\botstyle

Make a copy of the file (for backup)
Add your own format using one of the existing styles as a template

For example, Copy the 1st one

[Bars]
Name=Bars
Description=An HTML style where each link is separated by a vertical line.
Button="<A HREF="#URL#" TARGET="#TARGET#" STYLE="{text-decoration: none;}">#LABEL#</A>"
Selected="#LABEL#"
H-Separator=" | "
V-Separator="<br>"
Preview="bars.gif

And edit it to be a new format per below

[MyBars]
Name=MyBars
Description=MY HTML style where each link is separated by a vertical line without spaces.
Button="<A HREF="#URL#" TARGET="#TARGET#" STYLE="{text-decoration: none;}">#LABEL#</A>"
Selected="#LABEL#"
H-Separator="|"
V-Separator="<br>"
Preview="bars.gif

You can reduce the size of the spaces by wrapping the Nav Bar in a block, or
inline, HTML element with a very small font size:
<span style="font-size:1px;"></span>
The spaces will be reduced to the minimum font width the browser supports -
1px in IE6, but you should check in other browsers to see the effect.
