hyperlinks disappeared

I have 4 different websites (hosted at different hosting companies) I
updated a month ago or longer on some...they were ALL looking just fine then
all of a sudden all the hyperlinks on the home page (to other pages in the
site) disappeared. On ALL of the websites. Is it the version of explorer
I'm using to view them or some other reason?

Nancy,

What do you mean by 'updated'? Did you upgrade to IE8? If so this could be
your problem. There is a compatibility issue with IE8 for Publisher 2003 and
2007 which affects wizard built navbars. Read DavidF's answer to CDParker on
9th October and follow the instructions for ungrouping your site. This may
fix it.

If it doesn't, post back and I'm sure someone will help.

Nancy,

If you look back through the previous posts in this newsgroup to October 9th
you should see it, but as you are new to the group and may not find it
easily, I have copied and pasted it here for you;.....

There is a compatibility issue with IE8 and Publisher 2003 and 2007. Any
design elements that are 'grouped' together, which includes the Publisher
wizard built navbars, do not render when you view the web page in IE8 . The
fix in general is to ungroup the elements. There is both a manual fix to
these issues and a Service Patch that has been issued to fix it for Pub
2007.

Reference: Navigation bars and other content is missing from Publisher HTML
output in Internet Explorer 8: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/969705

A manual method of fixing this grouping issue:

After making and saving any changes to your Pub file, and prior to uploading
new web files, make a copy of your publication by doing a 'File > Save As'
and in this copy go to each page > Edit > Select All > Arrange > Ungroup.
This will ungroup the Publisher built navbar and disconnect it from the
wizard, and the navbars will render correctly in IE8. 'Publish to the Web'
from this copy of your publication. When you want to make further changes in
your web, go back to the original Publisher file, make the corrections
there, save your changes, and again make a copy, ungroup the
navbars and produce new web files for uploading. The advantage of this
workflow is that you will not have to rebuild the navbar if you choose to
add a page to the navbar. If you do not need to add a page or section to
your site, you can leave the navbar ungrouped and skip the step of saving a
copy.

Publisher 2007 can be fixed manually or with the Office 2007 SP2:

Reference: Description of 2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 2 (SP2)
and of Microsoft Office Language Pack 2007 SP2:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=953195

Some users have found SP2 breaks Publisher, and makes it impossible to open
existing Pub files...you know, break one thing to fix another, so there is a
hotfix for that:

Description of the Publisher 2007 hotfix package (Publisher.msp): June 30,
2009
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972566/

DavidF

Hope this helps.
