I am trying to copy/paste a page from Help and Support into a
Word doc.. I
right click and hit refresh to remove the blue text, select
all, and copy.
But when I paste into a Word doc, I get a bunch of "Error!
Hyperlink
reference not valid" Messages where the expand/collapse
button
is. Any ideas?

The hyperlink is looking for bookmarks to goto; the bookmarks
are
missing.

Interesting...why would the bookmarks be missing, and more
importantly, how
do I fix it? I am in a intro to computers course, and this is
one of my
assignments, to do a specific search and print out the results.
The errors
are killin me! Thanks for the help!




Sorry; I forgot to answer part of that: The bookmarks are
"missing" becuase they are most likely parts of a different
document and not part of the page or portion of a page that you
copied.
A LINK usually goes TO a document.
A LINK can also go to a specific PLACE within a document, any
document, including the current, one. That PLACE is where the
bookmark is. So, it goes TO the document, and then TO the PLACE
IN that document.

Thanks for the great effort and info!!! I don't need the links to work,
I
just needed to show that I performed the correct search and found that
page.
But I tried it with other searches, making sure I got one that contained
several expand/collapse buttons, and they copied and pasted into word
fine,
no problem at all! So it is just that page I have trouble with. Weird!
Thanks again!

Not if you think about it. The first page of a Help file tends to contain
the links (bookmarks, hyperlinks similar to a web page)to references which
reside further into the document, clicking on one would take you straight to
the reference. When you copied the page you also copied the hidden html
links associated with the "keywords". You then pasted it, with the links
intact, to a new document which had no connection with the document it came
from, therefore the links were broken, they had nothing to point to, hence
the error messages you where seeing.
