Re: Hyperlink works w/ Word but not Pub 2007

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Sorry for the confusion. I am trying to create a web site!
I think you found the problem. Eureka!!!
Yes the link points to a folder on the C: drive.
This is the same folder which has the pub web site files.
I uploaded all the files together to the server.
The PDF file was also uploaded to the same server.
How do I tell publisher where the file is now located?

I no longer know what you are trying to do. I thought you wanted to move
your website files from one computer to a laptop.
Apparently this is not your goal.

The Link hyperlink on the site you posted goes to your C drive. It needs to
go to the website address where the Sample.pdf file is located. If you want
the link to be connected to your C drive, it isn't going to work because no
one has the means to connect to your computer.

To try it explain better, I created a sample web page and link which can
be
viewed at
udel.edu/~wheaney/test/test.htm

The site lists the steps used to create.
The link is there but doesn't work although the task bar shows the proper
address.
I think I am following instructions correctly. If not please tell me what
steps to change as shown on the web site.
Thanks for all your efforts.

Open the Publisher website file; select the word or phrase to be the
link;
select Insert, Hyperlink.
Now type in the path to where the pdf file is located with the file name,
i.e.

http://www.yourdomain.com/folder/file.pdf

Upload new website file/s

Upload the pdf file if not already there.

Go to your site via your browser and verify the link works.

I don't want a PDF file. I want an HTML. I am saving the original pub
file
as
a web page.
Problem is the original pub file has a Link to a small PDF file (all
saved
in its own separate folder).
What I want to do is have the web site contain a hyperlink to the PDF
file.
Sorry I did not make it clearer.
Thanks very much for taking an interest.
Adding to the confusion > if I create the same web page using word,
with
the
same link, to the same PDF file (now in a separate folder with the word
web
files) it works OK

I don't understand why you create a pdf file; seems you want a html
file.
This can be accomplished by saving the pub file as a webpage.

While in pub I create a link to a pdf file. Then I convert to a web
publication and save as an html file. I upload all the web files as
well
as
the pdf file to the server. All seems well but the link, while it
looks
like
a hyperlink, does not open correctly. If I do the same steps in word
(create
link, convert to web, save etc) it works OK

Sounds like you create a link to a pdf file but you've changed the
file
to a
html file.

If you want the file to open as a html file, just change the .pub
file
to
a
html file. (Save as a webpage).

I have a simple text paragraph plus a LINK to a separate PDF file.
I do the hyperlink steps to link to the PDF file
I convert this to a web publication and as save as htm file.
I then upload to the web.
If I do this in Word (2007) all is OK.
When I do the same steps in Pub 2007, the link to file shows the
address
but
does not work (open).
Appreciate any ideas as I have tried this over and over again.
