It sounds like you are now using IE8 and there is a compatibility issue with
Publisher 2003 and 2007. Any design elements that are 'grouped' together,
which includes the Publisher wizard built navbars, do not render when you
view the web page in IE8 . The fix in general is to ungroup the elements.
There is both a manual fix to these issues and a Service Patch that has been
issued to fix it for Pub 2007.
Reference: Navigation bars and other content is missing from Publisher HTML
output in Internet Explorer 8:

A manual method of fixing this grouping issue:
Go to each page > Edit > Select All (or Ctrl+A) > Arrange > Ungroup. This
will ungroup the Publisher built navbar and disconnect it from the navbar
wizard, and the navbars will render correctly in IE8.
Publisher 2007 can be fixed manually or with the Office 2007 SP2:
Reference: Description of 2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 2 (SP2)
and of Microsoft Office Language Pack 2007 SP2:

Some users have found SP2 breaks Publisher, and makes it impossible to open
existing Pub files...you know, break one thing to fix another, so there is a
hotfix for that:
