Navigation bars and other content is missing from Publisher HTML output in Internet Explorer 8
Microsoft Office Publisher 2003 and Office Publisher 2007 HTML output renders poorly
in Internet Explorer 8. For example, navigation bars and other content are
missing.
Publisher HTML output uses some very large numbers for
object coordinates. This behavior has worked in the past. However, Internet Explorer 8 does
not support such large coordinates. This is because some precision was moved from
the most significant end to the least significant end of the coordinate
variables to allow for sub-pixel layouts. Therefore, when large
coordinate values in Publisher HTML output are run through Microsoft Dynamic HTML,
the values are truncated. This behavior causes significant problems when Publisher HTML
is rendered in Internet Explorer 8.
Method 1: Republish the Web site by using Publisher 2007 Service Pack 2.
Method 2:
The issue is specific to groups and does not affect ungrouped objects. Therefore, to work around this issue, ungroup any object that is missing from your HTML output when it is viewed in Internet Explorer 8, and then republish the HTML. To make sure that you work around the issue, you can ungroup all objects in Publisher before publishing.
Note Ungrouping may make it awkward to edit the publication. For example, in Publisher 2003, navigation bars may become "less smart" when you ungroup objects. Therefore, save a separate copy of the HTML before you ungroup objects.
How to ungroup objects
- Select the objects that you want to
ungroup.
- In the lower-right corner of the selection rectangle,
click Ungroup.
For Publisher 2003 users, please upgrade to Publisher 2007, and then install Publisher 2007 Service Pack 2.
Republish
the Web site by using Publisher 2007 Service Pack 2.
Note Publisher 2007 Service Pack 2 is scheduled to release on April
28, 2009.
For Publisher 2003 users, please upgrade to Publisher 2007,
and then install Publisher 2007 Service Pack 2.
