MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / May 2006hyperlink within footer
I wish to embed a hyperlink in the footer of a Word document (Word XP). How can I do this? Insert / hyperlink doesn't seem to work. David Insert - Hyperlink should work fine in a footer in Word XP/2002 (as well as 2003; haven't checked earlier versions, but I've never seen it NOT work). What happens when you try? Are you getting an error message? If all else fails, you could insert it into the main part of the document, then cut/paste into the footer. But, I can't fathom why it's not working directly.

How >can I do this? Insert / hyperlink doesn't seem to work. > David What happens is this. If I follow the procedure, the "text to display" appears on the footer OK. But when I convert the file to a PDF it is no longer a hyperlink although others in the body of the text are still fine. Is this a problem with my PDF writer? I am using Visage eXPert PDF version 3.

Also if you want the hyperlink to appear on every page in the PDF you could use a form field. Once you create the first one right click on it and you can duplicate the field on every PDF page instantly (I think!). Lynn I'm not familiar with Visage eXPert PDF. I use Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0.7, and hyperlinks in footers (headers and body, too) work just fine when I create a .PDF from a Word file. You might check your PDF software's settings to see if hyperlinks in footers are somehow turned off.

I'll try the one you mentioned and will report back when I can get hold of a copy. David > I'm not familiar with Visage eXPert PDF.

But it can't perform the necessary actions like the others do. It can be made to work though by adding a link from the blue text using Adobe Acrobat. I used the Professional edition version 7.07 and it works perfectly David |
