[TCS Users] Hyperlinks in FrameMaker 9

[David Spreadbury]

As a first step I would not include the end of paragraph marker. It may be
adding something to the actual URL that is misdirecting the link.

Subject: [TCS Users] Hyperlinks in FrameMaker 9

 

Hi all,

I am having a heck of a time getting hyperlinks created in FrameMaker to
bring up the correct web page.

1. I place the string that represents the hyperlink in a table. The table
causes some line breaks in the string. 
2. I carefully highlight the string making sure i select the entire
paragraph marker. Then, I apply a character format to the string, which
indicates that its a hyperlink.
3. While the string is still highlight, I select Special > Hypertext.
4. In the Hypertext box, I select go to url. In the field, I enter "message
URL [URL]".

However, when I generate a PDF of the FrameMaker file, either the PDF fails
to render a web page or it goes to the wrong web page. For example, if I
wanted to go to "http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-xp/default.aspx",
the PDF only goes to "http://www.microsoft.com/", even though in the
hypertext box I have the URL specified as
"http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-xp/default.aspx".

Am I doing something wrong?

Sincerely,
Joseph Lorenzini
