Hi, 

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

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, wher
e 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 t
he pages, ALWAYS bar1 changes too.

Bar1, Bar2 and the horizontal bar show up as individual objects in the galle
ry (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.
