Nav bar

I ungrouped my Nav bar so that I could edit the text. How do I put it all back together? I tried grouping them again and clicking the nav bar icon but the nav bar icon won't light up.

Hi Iggy

Have you grouped... or soft grouped?

That's a good question. I tried using the pointer and the text tool to do so but no cookies.

Yes they are grouped now. Still no light up for the nav bar icon.

Do the nav buttons have links?

All but one has a link.

Can you post an extract for a look?

The first page is where I made the changes so that I could then apply them to all of the pages.

Home, Home Care, Staff, FAQ, and Contact Us light for me. Only Careers doesn't light but then it doesn't have a link.

Davo, what I mean is, I'm trying to put them back into one nav bar. There is a nav bar tool and when I choose of the items I want to put back into a nav bar, the nav bar icon doesn't give me anything. I'm just trying to figure out how to put home, home care, staff, faq and contact back into one nav bar now that I'm done editing the text.

Ah, OK. It looks like you need to Ungroup Home, Home Care, Staff, FAQ, and Careers... ungroup not remove soft group. Then select Home, Home Care, Staff, FAQ, Careers, *AND* Contact Us and Group these together. You should then be able to make the nav bar a repeating object.

Iggy, the problem is on your home page, the menu isn't a navbar. On the other pages the menu is a repeating navbar. So copy the navbar on any page other than the index page, then hit delete / delete on all pages.

Now in the index page, select all the independent menus and delete. Delete the Contact Us button / delete on all pages.

Now Ctrl+Shift+V (Paste in place). Double click the menubar you've just pasted, give the Careers a link to the Careers Page. Add a Contact Us button. (Just a # at present as you don't have a Contact Page.

Finally, with the navbar selected, right click and select Repeating Object / Repeat on all pages.

rrrggghhhh.....no go. I even ungrouped everything, deleted the backgrounds and trying. Put the backgrounds back grouped it all together and still no nav bar icon. Gotta figure this out, but tomorrow. It's time to go.

Bramhill, I got the bar by making the original one repeating on all the pages. My dilemma is I wanted to edit the bar and make the font larger. In order to do that I had to ugroup it. After I ungrouped and did what I needed, I couldn't put it back together again. Well I put it back together, I just couldn't get it to be a nav bar again.

Iggy, read my post above again. I said your index page didn't have a navbar, but your other pages did. All you needed to do was delete the non navbar buttons on the index page.

On any other page select the word Home with the text tool and change the font to a larger size. All the other button fonts will change too, including the mouse over text.

Add a Contact Us button on the navbar.

Repeat on all pages.
