[mso] Re: Word2003 Hyperlinking to Bookmarks

Ray:

Sorry if I've wasted any of your time by not being clear! The "frame" I
was talking about is not a web-page frame, but a Word frame. It acts
like a text box, but is on the text layer, rather than the drawing
layer. So text can wrap around a frame, or you can position a frame
anywhere on a page, but you can't put a frame behind text or in front of
text.

You can't see a text box in normal view, but you can see a frame in
normal view -- that's because it's on the text layer, with your other
body content.

You can convert your text boxes to frames by selecting the text box
(i.e. the crosshatched border on the outside of the box, not its
contents) then right-clicking and clicking Format Text Box. On the Text
Box tab, click Convert to Frame.

I don't know why they took the Insert Frame command out of the GUI, but
you can define a style to have  a frame by clicking Format > Style >
Modify > Format > Frame. You can also execute the Insert Frame command
by clicking Tools > Macro > Macros, selecting Word Commands from the
Macros In list, then selecting InsertFrame and clicking Run.

This puts a frame around the current selection. You can then select and
right-click the frame, and click Format Frame to adjust the settings.

You also don't necessarily have to redo your bookmarks.

If you've installed a version of Acrobat Professional, you also have the
PDFMaker toolbars and commands available from within Word. You can
configure the Convert to Adobe PDF command to automatically generate
bookmarks from any style you choose.

Say your chapter title styles are ChapterHead and your topic titles are
Heading 1. You can configure PDFMaker to create a level 1 bookmark for
each ChapterHead and a level 2 bookmark for each Heading 1.

As to the links, to restore their color, you can open Internet Explorer,
click Tools > Internet Options, then click Clear History.=20

That may drive home the point I was making that hyperlink status and
color are controlled by Internet Explorer and the user's history of
browsing. You could also change your personal IE settings so the visited
link color was the same as the unvisited link color; but of course you
have no control over your user's settings.

The only way out that I can imagine is to style the hyperlink anchor
text in some other character style that's just blue and underlined by
coincidence. You may be able to do that through the Word interface.
