Re: How can I hyperlink to an enlarged picture in Publisher 2003?

Great leads! Thanks!

Line from a Leheer song went "Plagerize. Let no one else's work evade your
eyes..." Nothing like a little insight from a Harvard prof - or EX-Harvard
prof.

Now to assimilate all the information I've received today.

David (and Kat),

When in doubt, plagiarize. Find a web site you like, View the Source
code and copy/paste it.

Here are a couple of sites for good references on tags:
http://www.web-source.net/html_codes_chart.htm
http://www.htmlgoodies.com/
And here's one (toward the bottom) that lists the web safe colors by RGB
ad hex values: http://www.web-source.net/216_color_chart.htm

Even though this site: http://www.serif.com/forum/default.asp is about
Serif (and about half-way down, WebPlus) there are usually several
discussions about coding. You have to register to post (to prevent
spammers) but guests can view threads.
