If your are linking to locations on Windows-based systems, enclose the entire link in double-quotes if you have spaces anywhere in filenames or path. Windows truncates the string at the first space but accepts the complete string if enclosed in double quotes ("), for example:
"\\jetblue.com\Docs\Manuals\jbdocs\Flight Operations Training Manual (FOTM).pdf" should work. If linking to a server from a Windows platform, backslashes are all that will work. A forward slash results in and error - "Invalid switch - "/". --- On Tue, 8/2/11, Eduardo F. Cidade Sr. <ecidade at zoominternet.net> wrote: From: Eduardo F.

Problem:? whenever I write the syntax to go to the hypertext link?...FrameMaker does funny things to the link itself?. Example: message URL \\jetblue.com\Docs\Manuals\jbdocs\Flight Operations Training Manual (FOTM).pdf becomes the following when I click ?Edit Hypertext Marker??.. message URL \\jetblue.com?ocs\smanuals\jbdocs?light Operations Training Manual (FOTM).pdf I think the use of the backslash is causing this?.or??is it a bug??? So I?m trying to use any tool native to FrameMaker to keep the link intact. This has been bothering me for a long time and it?s one of the laundry list items I?ve been trying to cure. Any assistance would be most appreciated?. Eduardo F.
