Hi,

I am new to this forum and the search function did not help me with my problem.

I am using MS Publisher 2003 and trying to get multiple nav bars in my page.

What I want to do:
a horizontal bar, with 4 main topics. For each topic (and the corressponding pages) I want a vertical nav bar. This works fine for the first topic, where I now have a working vertical nav bar (called bar1).

The problem:
When I add a new nav bar, giving it a new name "bar2", display on this page only, I *always* get the same links as in the bar1. I want to have different page links in bar2... but when I delete the old ones and set new links to the pages, ALWAYS bar1 changes too.

Bar1, Bar2 and the horizontal bar show up as individual objects in the gallery (when clicking Insert nav bar -> existing one).

The question:
How can I set different links in bar1 and bar2?

Greetings,
Moonglow

The nav bar wizard only supports one instance of the navigation per
publication file. That instance can be 1 menu per page or two per page but
they are the same links through out.
You can work around that by simply using a separate publication file for
each page and/or section with it having it's own nav bar.
See the publishermvps site for article on this topic.

Can you give me a direct URL? On the publishermvps site I get totally lost without finding anything useful.
