hyperlink
Thanks for the reply but I DID insert the hyperlink AS
WELL AS apply the format. I created a bookmark which I subsequently slelected from "bookmarks" in the insert hyperlink dialog box. for simplicity, this is intended to link to a bookmark within the same document. thanks again. -------------------------- I feel like I've established a hyperlink WITHIN the same WORD document. Everything appears to be fine but when I pass the cursor over the blue underlined text it behaves as in regular edit mode. What is the main thing to do to "activate" text to behave as a hyperlink ... i.e. to get a hyperlink pointer of some type? My problem MIGHT be in setting the "heading style" which I thought I did by choosing "hyperlink" in the STYLE dropdown of the toolbar. Am I missing something? |

Hi,
When discussing the same problem it is important to reply to the previous message rather than starting a new thread. I have no idea what the previous reply was because the link which is created by replying to a message isn't there. In Word 2003 (and I think XP) the cursor does not change to a hand but remains the editing I-Beam unless you hold the Ctrl key down or have this default behavior switched off. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup. Please post replies and questions to the newsgroup so that others can learn from my ignorance and your wisdom. "jr" wrote in message ...

I know that starting a new thread is a (valid) pet peeve
for many. I started it later from the fear that the original would be abandoned. Unfortunately (for you), your advice worked. I didnt' know that holding CTRL was necessary. Is there a way to do this without the "labor intensive drudgery" of holding down the CTRL key? : ) Thanks for your hlep, Charles -----Original Message----- Hi, When discussing the same problem it is important to reply to the previous message rather than starting a new thread.
