MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / January 2005Publisher 2002 SP3 killed my hyperlinks
I upgraded to Publisher 2002 SP3 as recommended, and I see that it appears to convert a lot of text boxes to image files (is that what makes them load faster?). But I have URL and mailto hyperinks in many of those text boxes and they no longer work. How do I fix that ? Interestingly, *some* textboxes were NOT converted to image files and the hyperlinks work there still. Hopefully its just a magic setting someplace now in SP3 ... Publisher 2002 SP1 - SP3 does not support hyperlinks in a "filled" text box or a "bordered" text box. Basically any decorated text box. If you prefer to use the original code technology of 2002 after upgrading to SP1-SP3 you can do so by using File, Save as, (select from save as file type) Web Page (htm, html). As this old news of the 2002 code issues is new news to you I recommend you publish in both the new code and the old code and compare site file size. A typical 2002 html file would be around 400 kb, under 2002 SP1-SP3 that would be reduced to something in the 40 kb - 100kb range. You are much better off to redo your design, in other words I recommend you switch your link to be straight text and drop the box decoration, then to use the larger code size in Publisher 2002. fwiw version 2003 fixed the text box fill issue.

Hi David, Appreciate all the help, one last hump for me to get over, how specifically do I "switch your link to be straight text and drop the box decoration" ? I agree with you better to use the SP3 features and adjust to them .. thanks, Jamie > Publisher 2002 SP1 - SP3 does not support hyperlinks in a "filled" text box > or a "bordered" text box.

Do not proceed to fill or border or anything else the text box.

OK, I have existing text boxes, so for ones that I have links in that I want to work, I guess I'll need to go into the properties for those text boxes and remove any fills or borders, etc ... thanks ,, > Create a text box, insert text, hyperlink text, and you're done.
