Linking Problem

[Eduardo F. Cidade Sr.]

Good afternoon

I’ve been experiencing a tonload of trouble linking to documents in a server where the 
address contains backslashes “\” and NOT forward slashes “/”

Problem:  whenever I write the syntax to go to the hypertext link?...FrameMaker does funny 
things to the link itself….

Example:

message URL \\jetblue.com\Docs\Manuals\jbdocs\Flight Operations Training Manual (FOTM).pdf
becomes the following when I click “Edit Hypertext Marker”…..
message URL \\jetblue.com‡ocs\smanuals\jbdocsƒlight Operations Training Manual (FOTM).pdf

I think the use of the backslash is causing this….or……is it a bug???

So I’m trying to use any tool native to FrameMaker to keep the link intact.

This has been bothering me for a long time and it’s one of the laundry list items I’ve been 
trying to cure.

Any assistance would be most appreciated….
