Author Extra Pages in Publisher 2002

I have tried a number of methods, but I cannot get any subsequent publisher pages to link or display. When I put the cursor on the hyperlink, it points to my index.htm and not to index_page0001.htm, even when the hyperlink is set to point to page 2 of the publisher file.

Any ideas? It's very frustrating!!

what you describe is typically the result of layering 2 objects and then
hyperlinking each one but to two different pages, or from having used the
nav bar wizard incorrectly. My crystal ball is assuming the latter. You most
likely are using the nav bar wizard which adds a link to the nav menu for
each page automatically and maintains links automatically. The text in each
menu link is managed thru the page title under the page options. So the text
and the linkage is all automatically managed by the nav bar wizard. If you
manually modify that text and manually hyperlink it then that tangles up
what the nav bar wizard is doing. Then the results are messed up and you end
up frustrated.

David,

Thanks for the response... at least I know I'm not completely stupid!

Only things is ......... you didn't provide any solution. I'll take it that I need to redo the pages via the nav wizard? Is the easy way out to just have 2 separate pub files and link them in the same way as to another website?

If what I stated is what you did then you "undo" it as your solution.
Meaning you remove the hyperlink from the menu text.
The nav bar does all the linking, you don't do any linking yourself within
the nav bar.
