As a first step I would not include the end of paragraph marker. It may be adding something to the actual URL that is misdirecting the link.
David Spreadbury Sr. Technical Writer From: tcs-us...@googlegroups.com [mailto:tcs-us...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Joseph Lorenzini Sent: Tuesday, October 13, 2009 11:57 AM To: tcs-us...@googlegroups.com; framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: [TCS Users] Hyperlinks in FrameMaker 9 Hi all, I am having a heck of a time getting hyperlinks created in FrameMaker to bring up the correct web page. 1. I place the string that represents the hyperlink in a table. The table causes some line breaks in the string. 2. I carefully highlight the string making sure i select the entire paragraph marker. Then, I apply a character format to the string, which indicates that its a hyperlink. 3. While the string is still highlight, I select Special > Hypertext. 4. In the Hypertext box, I select go to url. In the field, I enter "message URL [URL]". However, when I generate a PDF of the FrameMaker file, either the PDF fails to render a web page or it goes to the wrong web page. For example, if I wanted to go to "http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-xp/default.aspx";, the PDF only goes to "http://www.microsoft.com/";, even though in the hypertext box I have the URL specified as "http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-xp/default.aspx";. Am I doing something wrong?
