| How to force navigation bar that is on the Master page to “Show selected
state”?
Thanks.

| I could not find how to edit my question, so here is some clarification:
I am using Publisher 2003 and, of course, the check box for “Show selected
state” in navigation bar properties is checked.

| Alec, Perhaps the problems is that you are using a Master Page. Here is a
past post from our local MVP:
A master page is where you place objects that appear on all pages. It is by
design for a print publication and not a web publication. While some have
reported to have used a master page in their web publication, I recommend
against it's use in a web publication. There have been issues from customers
that have been traced back to that and in my own testing I have found issues
with the way a web publication will write links from a master page objects.
I recommend that you use the option to copy all objects on a page when you
insert a new page in order to carry objects across all pages. Or to just
group them and copy/paste them across.

Perhaps move your Nav bar off the Master page and see if that helps.

| Thank you David.
That is the way I am doing it. I am still getting used to the concept: do
not expect things to work – instead be pleasantly surprised when they do.

| Alec,
Murphy's law may indeed apply. When it gets down to it, Publisher 2003 is a
DTP, and there are always going to be some limitations on what you will be
able to do with it.
I know it took me a long time to change my mind set and realize that you
don't design and build a web page the same way that you would a print
document. I could not use the same techniques I had used before. The more I
read about web site design, the more my web site had to change and evolve.
Through the reading, a lot of trial and terror, and David Bartosik's help
and advice, I am now finding it more fun than frustrating. Hopefully you'll
get there too.
