New and enhanced features make it easier than ever to add and edit navigation bars in Publisher. You can add, remove, or change links on a navigation bar, or change the design or button style of a navigation bar. Publisher also allows you to add secondary navigation bars to a Web site to create a navigation structure for your site.
New Web site editing environment
Publisher now provides two distinct environments for creating Web and print publications. When you create or edit Web publications, you work in Web mode. The options available to you in Web mode are tailored specifically to Web publications so that you can create a publication that is optimized for display in a Web browser.
Easier access to Web site options
When you are working in Web mode, Publisher makes it easy to access and specify settings for your Web site. Select page-specific options in the Web Page Options dialog box (Tools menu, Web Page Options command). Select site-wide options on the Web tab of the Options dialog box (Tools menu, Options command).
Maintain and update your Web site quickly and easily
Publisher's Incremental publish to the Web feature speeds up the process of updating your published Web site. When you make changes to your Web site, you do not need to republish the entire Web site. Instead, Publisher will publish only those files that you have changed.
