Well, that does make sense.

Um, hazy? grin.
Actually, I'm inclined the other way--to strip out the coding, leaving the
links as text. Hyperlinks are classified as fields by Word. Other things that
Word classifies as fields, like page numbering, don't translate with the
converter. I'm worried that the hyperlinks will end up getting turned into
unreadable garbage, the way smart quotes and fraction graphics do.

I can't remember a book I've proofed with an actual link in it. I still
think I'd leave it alone unless you get information on this list that
suggests you should strip it out.
How's that for a hazy response?

Bob, is that the case for volunteer submitted books, or just publisher
quality books? I think I've noticed a difference in that the PQ books
do have hyperlinks that work, but the volunteer submitted books don't
have hyperlinks that work. Just working on memory here, so I could well
be mistaken. smile.

Hi Judy.
Good question.
I'm not sure about Braille since I don't use it much. But I suspect the
Braille converter strips the html code out and leaves the text in.
Daisy doesn't do anything with it. I say that because reading books with
Kurzweil and in my web browser, I still get the links--and can still
activate them etc.
So, in short, I'd say leave them alone.
Hope this helps.
Bob

What happens to the hyperlink fields in Word when a book goes through
DAISY and braille conversion?
Do the bookshare tools strip those or leave them in? If a URL in a book
has been turned into a hyperlink by Word, is it best to convert it back
to ordinary text?
