Master page settings don't appear when previewing a Publsher webpa

I've set up a master page with graphics, footers, navigation bars, etc., and
have applied it to all the pages in my .PUB project. I can view all the
master page settings on each of the pages in my project when in design mode,
but when I opt to preview my web pages in a browser, only those elements
defined for the individual pages appear. None of the master page elements
appear.

I've searched help to see if there's a setting I need to turn on, but
nothing jumps out as obvious.

Does anyone else have this issue or am I just one of a kind?

Nope, you may be a very special person, but you are not unique. Here is the
reply from yesterday's question:

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."

I am afraid you need to dump the master page...DavidF
