What happens is this. If I follow the procedure, the "text to display"
appears on the footer OK. But when I convert the file to a PDF it is no
longer a hyperlink although others in the body of the text are still fine.
Is this a problem with my PDF writer? I am using Visage eXPert PDF version
3.

Insert - Hyperlink should work fine in a footer in Word XP/2002 (as well
as 2003; haven't checked earlier versions, but I've never seen it NOT
work).

What happens when you try? Are you getting an error message?

If all else fails, you could insert it into the main part of the document,
then cut/paste into the footer. But, I can't fathom why it's not working
directly.

I wish to embed a hyperlink in the footer of a Word document (Word XP).
How can I do this? Insert / hyperlink doesn't seem to work.
