When I make a htm file with Word XP containing an image which is a hyperlink,
the browser does not change the mouse to a hand when I hover over it. Any
suggestions?

In Word 2002 and 2003, by default you must press Ctrl and click to follow a
hyperlink. If you have ScreenTips enabled, you should be seeing a ScreenTip
to that effect. This behavior was intended to make it easier to edit
hyperlinked text, but you can change it on the Edit tab of Tools | Options.

Yes the screen tip comes up but the cursor does not change from the Arrow
Head to a Hand to alert the user there is a Hyperlink associated with that
image.

Thanks for your interest in the question.

Yes, that works fine in Word, but when the user views the page from the web
using a browser such as Internet Explorer I would like the cursor to turn to
a hand automaticaly so they know there is a link associated with the image.
Frontpage does it ok but Word dosent.

The hyperlink should function normally when the page is opened in a browser,
unless the browser opens it in Word. Word is a lousy Web page editor; if you
have FP, why are you using Word?

I had the same problem... Here's what I found thanks to Bob Buckland.
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...f b454e0d115d

"The hyperlinks work, but the 'hand pointer' only
works if you use File=Save as web page=Filtered
from Word 2002 or 2003. Be sure to save your original
file as a .DOC first so you'll have a full version
to edit later as the filtered version can remove
content not supported in browsers"
