Thanks David - I was hoping for an easier way.. there are a lot of them to
change...

BTW - I have noted the use of SP2 to fix the non appearance of nav bars in
IE8 - but also noted a comment it doesn't work for some users - is there a
definitive answer yes or no on this?

Finally - the link in the notification email to advise me of this reply
didn't work... I had to nav here by manual means - no big deal, but not sure
if its a once off or a glitch only.... it may be useful for someone managing
this site to know its not doing its job

kind regards

You need to rewrite the links in the Publisher publication, not the .htm
file, and you will need to do that manually. It really should not take that
long to select the hyperlinked text or object, and paste:

http://www.yourwebsite.com/PDF_downloads/XXX.pdf

into the address, and then just change the file name part on each other
link.

Don't write the link to ftp.

Hi

(1) website made with pub2007
(2) PDF links work on desktop but obviously not on web as the still point
to
the desktop.
(3) Its a pain as there are lots of links to be changed!

Is there any software that will reliably do a "find and replace"
automatically for links ie:

change...
"desktop/new_website/PDF_downloads/XXX.pdf

by changing the early part of the link to...

"ftp.xxx.new_website/PDF_downloads/

etc?

many thanks for all help

regards

Richard
