Slide not showing up in navigation. It is not hidden.

May 17, 2011

Hey there Heroes,

I am running into a small issue with a HUGE course that I am working on , so all this republishing really takes time.

The problem is that when I view the published course, one of my slides isn't showing up in the navigation. I have many hidden slides in the presentation, which aren't the problem... For some reason, the hyperlinks I have to that slide will work fine, but when I try to find it in the nav, it's gone.

Any takers?

Should I just try to re-create the slide?

Re-creating the slide would be my first action.

Does it show up if you move it to another location in the presentation?

Does a working slide moved that location exhibit the same behavior?

I moved the slide to a different location, so the slide above wouldn't be a hidden slide. It's publishing now and I will post back my results, and/or screenshots if it doesn't work.

It's weird because all my other slides have the same characteristics as this one that isn't working, so that's why I posted here.

Thanks for the ideas.

Yep! That worked... I moved the hidden slide underneath the slide I wanted to show.

Thanks!

I am having a similar issue. I have many slides that I need to keep "hidden" in the navigation bar that are on the same level (2). When published, some of the slides are visisble in the navigation menu after a hidden slide, but then later on, some are not. Here is a screenshot of some that are not...

Slide 54 is not showing up in the navigation menu. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Joe,

Can you try un-hiding slides 50 through 53 & setting their level to 3? Then, re-hide them & set slide 54 back to level 2. Be sure to completely publish your presentation to see the changes instead of just previewing them.

Ok we are getting close. I tried what you suggestion Brian, and it brought back the headings, but now there are blank levels associated with them...

Hi Brian,

I was able to fix it. I unhid all the slides below the "blank levels", saved it, then went back in, unhid, and saved again. I hate to use the "g" word to discribe this, but at least it can be fixed.

Thanks for your help.
