Help wth hyperlinks_Please

[Shlomo Perets]

Two additional points:

-- There are cases where the hypertext markers are all valid, yet the 
resulting link is very small due to the character format affecting the 
marker only (eg when copying a gotolink marker from one paragraph to 
another, with the two paragraphs having different character properties). 
You can fix this by first applying "default paragraph font" to the entire 
area, then apply the required character format to the link text.
The link location/size can be inspected in Acrobat (when the Link tool is 
active).

-- If the link works in FrameMaker (view only document, or regular document 
with Ctrl-Alt-click), but not in Acrobat: in FrameMaker's PDF Setup dialog 
box, turn on "Create Named Destinations for All Paragraphs" (Links tab).
A sample FM7 files which demonstrates a valid hypertext marker resulting in 
a non-functional link is available at: 
http://www.microtype.com/resources/bugs/dests_hypertext.zip ; the PDF link 
is fine when turning on "Create Named Destinations for All Paragraphs".
