SYMPTOMS
If you create a blank web site and then insert a Web Navigation Bar from
the Design Gallery and send it to the background, the navigation bar will
not update Automatically when you add a page to the web site. It will not
update even if you insert a new page and select the "Add hyperlink to Web
navigation bar" option in the New Page dialog box.
CAUSE
This problem is caused by the way that Publisher synchronizes objects.

Bar on the Foreground, send it to the Background, and then deleting the
existing Web Navigation Bar on the Background.

Gallery Object.
- From the Categories list, select Web Navigation Bars. Select the
desired Web Navigation Bar on the right, and click Insert Object. This
