Hyperlinks in Headers and Footers
Hopefully someone will be able to assist me in what I thought would be a very
basic and simple task. I am creating a Letterhead in MS Word which requires hyperlinks to appear on every page (eg, as part of a header and/or footer). Unfortunately, even the most simple of header/footer hyperlinks will not work in Word. The text appears but nothing happens (except when you change the focus to to Header). Very frustrating!! Hope this all makes sense :-S I've checked online MS help without luck. Surely this (basic??) function is available. I have MS Office Professional 2003. If this function isn't available, does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get around it. Looking forward to receiving an answer. cheers |

The reason it doesn't work is quite simple. The header/footer is not in the
text layer of the document and so to access it you have to switch to that layer. If you want a hyperlink to appear in the text layer on each page, then you'll have to put it there manually on the page (or in a frame or table cell - not a text box). If it's a letter head, why does it need a hyperlink? You can't use hyperlinks in printed letters - or is there something extra to this that you are not explaining? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org A bit Frustrated :-) wrote: Hopefully someone will be able to assist me in what I thought would be a very basic and simple task.
