Ok, what if I changed it to a relative hyperlink if that is possible?

excuse my ignorance on the difference between the two I have not had much
experience creating hyperlinks.

thank you.

Hi Spike

The drive letters vary, there is no one case fits all scenario.
If I wanted to keep my "mock website" portable, how could I go about
it?
Because i have not actually published the website to the internert on a
server, I can't actually save my pdf files that I want to link to on
the
server.

My understanding was if I created this webquest in publisher, inserted
all
the links to the web and the external files on my hard drive to the
publisher
document and saved it as a filtered webpage. All I would need to do was
copy
both the xxx.html and the xxx.files to a shared folder (in this case a
cd)
and it would work.

However, the external hyperlinks, in this case the pdf documents, are
not
working?

Cheers

What is the drive letter where the web pages are located on each
computer?

Hello Spike

I can now see the links that were not fuctioning before thanks to
the
work
around I explain in a later post. However, now that I am back at my
pc
working off the cd when I click on my pdf links that are saved in a
downloads
folder on the cd I get an error msg saying I.E can't display the
webpage.

The defective links in the address bar are:
D:\Downloads\great_deserts of_the_southern_ hemisphere.pdf
D:\Downloads\tjulyuru.pdf

Also, the links to web addresses work but when I click on back in my
browser
it does not take me back to my webpages.

Looking forward to your reply

On the PC that has the problems, look at the address bar on the
browser
you
are using when the problem arises and that will lend information as
to
why
you are having problems. If you can not figure it out, copy and
paste
the
defective link(s) in the address bar here.

Hi,

I have created a web quest for university project to be submitted
in
2
days.
It is the first time I have created a website, a 'mock' website
because
I
am
not actually publishing it to the web rather saving it on a cd
that
others
on
the intranet can view. I have really been enjoying using
publisher,
all
my
links worked my images came out good on my pc, however as soon as
I
saved
it
to cd and tried it on a fresh pc troubles have arisen.

I have made some images into hyperlinks and they all work
including
one
pdf
document. The hyperlinks that are in text boxes and were made by
highlight
text and the inserting a hyperlink to the website or pdf document
work
in
the
publisher document but not the saved html file on disc.

All the pdfs that I require I haved in a folder called downloads
on
the
cd
next to the xxx.html file and xxx.folder.

Any possible solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
