Re: automating link changes

Hi David

re www.dccconcepts.com.

I note you advised SP2 would fix it but....

1/ downloaded SP2 and installed
2/ opened and closed file successfully so no problem there
3/ re-published to web
4/ uploaded 100% of files and checked that all related files were properly
replaced on server with new
5/ nav bar problem was NOT fixed by SP2

Can you please look and advise me please

Richard

Sorry, but after you write the link once it should take you about 20 seconds
to change each one. Just be sure to test the first couple and make sure that
you are writing the links correctly, so that you don't have to redo them a
second time. And by the way, I am assuming that your subfolder is called
'PDF_dowloads' and not 'PDF downloads'. You probably know that you should
avoid spaces, special characters etc in the folder or file names, correct?

The Office 2007 SP2 does fix the problem with the Publisher 2007 navbars not
rendering in IE8. Your confusion is probably that some people have found
that after applying the patch they could not open existing Publisher files.
the patch fixed one thing only to break another. As a result my suggestion
has been to manually ungroup the navbars until MSFT debugged the SP. From
what has been reported the fix for the SP problem will be available at the
end of June. Stay tuned.

And by the way, this does not fix the problem with Publisher 2003. Those
users will have to manually ungroup the navbars and any other design
elements on each page. Pub 2000 users don't have to make any changes in
their navbars from all the reports thus far.

As Spike suggested, I use the newsgroup rather than the forum, and don't
trust many of the features such as the notification feature of the forum to
work. You are the second person this week to complain about not being
notified after getting an answer. The forums just are not as dependable as
NNTP newsgroups in my opinion, or as easy to work with.

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
