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.
