Link bars are an easy and professional way to provide navigation to other Web pages.
You can use back and next links for moving between a series of pages, as in a story. You can use custom links to specify which links will appear on the bar, such as links to your company information, news releases, or related Web pages.
To create link bars, you must save your document as a Web or Web archive page to a Web server that is running Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 or SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft.
The link bar provides a list of links related to your page. You can specify text links, choose from a gallery of graphical images, or have Microsoft Word base the links on a theme.
You can specify which order the links will appear in the bar, and you can have Microsoft Word display the bar at the top of your page or the left side of it.
To use next and back links, you add the current page to the link bar, links to the next and previous page in the sequence, and any additional links you want, such as a link to your home page.
If you want to change your link bar later, you can modify its properties.
