Re: Word Hyperlinks lost when text in box put behind picture, why?

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



I think what youare suggesting is close to what I worked out this morning. I
opened a text box over the area of the picture that was appropriate, filled
it with periods (....), and then selected no fill for both the box and the
line,and make the periods a color to match the area of the picture. But,
after reading your second note, I tried it the way you suggested without the
text and the link held. Thanks

Take care, Frank
