Hypertext?

[Writer]

Thanks, Shlomo. I was actually concerned about how to turn it off. The help provided no help in the matter, and poking around Acrobat made me none the wiser.

Cheers,

Nadine

I ran a quick test with FM 9/Acrobat Pro 8, and Acrobat Pro automatically recognized the text in the FM file as an email address (although, I can't find how to prevent it from doing this). You might want to give the address a character tag in FM to make it look like a link.
