How can I save a hyperlinked word document / pdf in Publisher?
Hi,
I really need someones' help. I am making a webpage in publisher which will be having links to my saved word documents. i.e., once clicked on a link, a word document or a pdf will open. This way, I can reduce the number of web pages required. I would appreciate if someone can help me on this. Thanks a lot in advance. Regards, Deb. |

How can I save a hyperlinked word document / pdf in Publisher?
This is the way I found to be good for me.
On the server where your website files are located create a folder, downloads (or any other name you like). Put your files, i.e.,File.doc, File.pdf etc in the downloads folder. On your web page create something like, Get file here. Select here with your mouse and from the menu select Insert, Hyperlink and in the box type, /downloads/File.doc or /downloads/File.pdf whichever is appropriate.

How can I save a hyperlinked word document / pdf in Publisher?
Hi Don,
I have Pub 2007. Did what you said and thought this was working for me on my machine. I had the Hyperlink and was able to call up the xx.doc. When I went to another machine the link wasn't there. Any ideas?? "Don Schmidt" wrote: This is the way I found to be good for me. On the server where your website files are located create a folder, downloads (or any other name you like).

If you tried to paste the link in your browser it won't come up unless you
type the entire path, i.e., http://www.yourdomain.com/downloads/file.pdf But the file should come up if clicking on the link when in the webpage. You can also use the entire path when creating the link on your webpage. -- Don - Publisher 2000® Vancouver, USA "Clint" wrote in message ... Hi Don, I have Pub 2007.

How can I save a hyperlinked word document / pdf in Publisher?
Thanks! When I "hover" over the the text I want to link to its says the full
path ( www. webpage.com/folder/xx.doc). When I typed it in Publisher I only put /folder/xx.doc. I'll go back and type in the full path and see if that works.
