Default hyperlinks and display text when converting Publisher to PDF

Hi. I've recently created a newsletter in Publisher 2003. There are
hyperlinks in the document where the display text is different to the URL
(eg. display text: "Read Sian's article", URL:
http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?to...79&topic=8308).
This is because the actual URL will look 'messy' in the document. I have now
converted the document into PDF using Adboe 5.0. However, when i open the doc
in Adobe Reader (as most of the people we send it to will) and select the
hyperlink it tries to connect me to "Read Sian's Article" rather than the
actual URL. Is there a way to carry over the hyperlink in this format where
the reader will be connected to the URL not the display text?
Thanks, sorrry for the long explanation - i've tried to include as many
details as poss.

I don't know how it is with version 5, but in my version of Acrobat, click the
link tool on the toolbar and follow the prompts.
