[mso] Re: Word2003 Hyperlinking to Bookmarks

Hi Bear and All,

Thanks for the reply.

As you said, Help confirms that links inside text boxes don't work as 
expected.

I've never worked with frames except in web pages. I really don't want the 
kind of frame that stays visible for my newsletter. IOW, when the user clicks 
on a link, the destination page (say page ten) should open, and the frame 
which is on page one should not be visible. In Help, I didn't see any way to 
create a frame in a Word document except as a web frame.

On your advice, I investigated the creation of links within the final PDF 
using Acrobat. That solution looks promising. The major downside is that I 
usually "print" my document to PDF 10 or 15 times before I get it into final 
form. Each time I reprint the DOC file to PDF, I will have to re-edit all the 
links in Acrobat.

The remaining question is about the change of color of a hyperlink after the 
link has been visited. I would like to know how to prevent the color change. 
If that's not possible, I'd like to know how to restore the original color 
after a link has been visited. The only way I have found to restore the 
original color is to exit the Word document and reopen it (although that 
doesn't always work on the first try).

Thanks for any further help.
