Please point the way for me to find how to:

Using Publisher 2000 (Windows 98SE) have website where there are Names with
titles and these have links to e-mail addresses. No problem.

There is a name with title but the individual doesn't have an email address.
What I'd like to do is link the name (or title) with a drop down menu that
says. "To correspond, use PO Box listed above."  I know how to create a
linked pdf file but would rather have a little 2"x2" or so drop menu.  Can
it be done?

The individual is the Secretary at site:

http://www.osiaglnw.org/localunitsite.cfm?LCID=20

My plan is to eliminate the third column and associate the links to the
titles.

grazie,

don

Note: The goal is to associate the email addresses with the titles and not
the names so as the individuals change the email addresses remain static.

Hi Don,

Though I think the easiest thing would be to get an email address for the
secretary ;-), here is perhaps a start...some JavaScript that I have
partially modified for your purposes. Just copy and paste it into your HTML
fragment box. I am not sure how to write the code, but if you can change the
4th option value....??? If this is what you are looking for, perhaps someone
else can jump in and add the code that would deal with the secretary. Hope
this helps.

David,
Thanks for the response but I was looking for a menu only for the Secretary
who doesn't have email.

Your suggestion of getting an email address for the Secretary isn't the
problem for our hosted site has available 5,000 addresses. We're presently
using about 14.  The problem is the Secretary doesn't have an Internet
Provider and due to personal reasons will not be getting one.

Don,

Sorry. I thought about your question more after posting, and realized that
it really didn't accomplish your goal of using a two column table. Hopefully
someone else will jump in with the solution.

Don,

Here is a stupid question probably... You said that you produced your site
with Publisher 2000, but I noticed that you are getting some scaling of page
size and the pages have .cfm extensions. Could you explain?

If you mean by scaling there is more width its because my page is setup with
a 7?" page width, an option in the page setup.

As for the files that end with cfm extensions.... There shouldn't be any for
I didn't create any or add any. I don't see any in the folder of files that
comprise the web package.  ???

Look at your original link:

http://www.osiaglnw.org/localunitsite.cfm?LCID=20

And here  is your home page link:

http://www.osiaglnw.org/default.cfm

And yes, the pages do scale to fit the browser window.

Sorry, I had a different page in mind. And this mind is speeding for it's
past 70!<G>

I maintain our lodge's site, it's webpage on the Grand Lodge and the pages
for three other lodges.

I had www.vanusa.org on my mind when I said it didn't have any cfm files and
referred to the scaling.

I'm sorry I don't know the answer to your original question, but have a
follow up of my own.

You have said that you set your website to wide or 7.5 inches in order to
fill more of the window when viewed. I did the same thing, using Pub 2000, a
19" CRT monitor set at 1152 X 864. When I view www.vanusa.org , it is more
than an inch wider than my page. Do you know why that is? What settings are
you using? Thanks for any insight you might have.

David,

Me thinks you've identified a mystery. I'm using the same as you, 1152x864,
7.5" wide on a 19" monitor.

In selecting the 7.5" width, I didn't type in 7.5 but selected "wide" which
is suppose to be 7.5" according to the settings menu.

If you selected 7.5" after you've built the page then you have additional
space available on the page and you could edit the page, move things to the
right to use the additional space.

Don, From another thread you mentioned that you run "large" font size, and I
run "normal" font size. I wonder if that would be why your site is an inch
wider? David Bartosik...would you like to comment?

David,

Post your website address and I'll see how it compares it's width with mine
on my monitor.

My website is www.vanusa.org and it is built with Publisher 2000.

In all of this I think another website I work on has been mentioned,

http://www.osiaglnw.org/localunitsite.cfm?LCID=20

is built with an unknown program.  I edit it with soEditor Lite version 2.5.

Thanks Don, but I am rebuilding it at the moment..

I was wondering how you edited that site with Publisher...

Maybe I asked this in the wrong way previously. Is a "Drop down menu" the
proper nomenclature for what I want to do? I would like to use a link? to
show a note popup instead of bringing up a e-mail address for an individual
who doesn't have an Internet Provider. I'm using Publisher 2000. I would
prefer not to use a full pdf form as a popup.

The closest nomenclature I've come across is "Menu Button" but it isn't the
answer.

Hey Don, I am hesitant to suggest another possibility, but would this work
for you? It results in a popup window...and I don't know if you can insert
it in a table, but when you insert the code fragment in Publisher, it seems
to do what you want.

Alert on mouseover:

----

<a href=""onMouseover="alert('To correspond, use PO Box listed
above.')">Recording Secretary</a>
