Default hyperlink within footer

I'm not familiar with Visage eXPert PDF. I use Adobe Acrobat Professional
7.0.7, and hyperlinks in footers (headers and body, too) work just fine when
I create a .PDF from a Word file.

You might check your PDF software's settings to see if hyperlinks in footers
are somehow turned off.

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.
